Comment (by Ipstenu):

 WordPress uses the following library for passwords:
 https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn

 You can read about it in detail here:

 estimation/

 And you can test passwords here:

 Okay so WHY are those results what you get?

 Well I'm not sure since I get a WEAK score for `mfjg#08` :) -
 https://cloudup.com/c3ZO38TDv36 and `mfjg#0815` only gets me up to medium.

 Do you maybe have a setting in Lifter or some other plugin that is messing
 with that?
