Password Checker

[J. Landman Gay]

Right, I wasn't worried about Troy's site. But I read through the 
comments and there was a criticism that the site was vulnerable to 
malicious intrusions. Because I wasn't using the site itself I didn't 
worry. Troy also explained why the critcism wasn't entirely valid, but 
the commenter was still fairly vicious about it.
