Abstract
This disclosure is directed to, in part, determining an expiration of a password or other security data based on a measured complexity of the password or the security data. A user may enter a password to be associated with an account or a resource (e.g., a login for a user account, etc.). The password may be analyzed to determine an entropy value of the password, which is a measure of complexity of the password. A password manager may then determine an expiration of the password based on the entropy value of the password. Thus, a more complex password may be assigned an expiration date that is longer than an expiration date assigned to a less complex password. In some aspects, the expiration date may be dynamically updated as a user continues to enter inputs for a new password.
