Bummer -- that makes me suspect that it really truly is a horrible password
then (as you surmised, and pointed out to your coworker). Yet it passed,
which makes me nervous.
Welp, if you someday are able to convince your coworker that this particular
password was indeed bad, causing it to get abandoned, I'd love to know what
it was (if that still doesn't hurt your security), so I can see what its
flaw was/is and see if I'm missing something fundamental in the tests.
