As I prepare for this lesson and used the How Secure is My Password site, the instructions say to make sure we look at “show details” as test passwords. I do not see that link on the site. Is that an old instruction or am I missing something?  
thanks,  
Jim

Is there an alternate suggestion or just remove that instruction and focus on time to crack at this point in lesson?

Hi @jreilly2016,

I don’t see instructions to “show details” in the lesson. Perhaps it has already been removed? I would just skip it and focus on the main objectives like you mentioned. From what I remember, you will still be hitting the main objectives without “details” (I actually don’t even remember doing anything with “details”).

Frank,  
Thanks. I do see the lesson has been updated. I appreciate how quick questions and issues get handled. Was curious what I might be missing without that link but sounds like nothing too important.
