| Feb 20, 2013 at 11:22 | comment | added | CodesInChaos | You can't really talk about the entropy of a single password. Entropy is a property of a password generation process. When we talk about the entropy of a single password we implicitly assume a process that fits the way real people choose their passwords. That process can only be approximated. | |
