Security Health

Overview

The Security Health Dashboard provides users with an overview of the strength and security of their stored passwords, offering real-time insights, improvement suggestions, and critical metrics that help maintain strong password hygiene. This document outlines the layout, functionality, scoring metrics, and API integrations to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the security health features.



Dashboard Layout

  1. Upper Section: Gauges
    This section contains visual gauges that display the overall health of passwords:
  • Security Score Gauge: Represents an overall security score for all stored passwords. This score is a composite of various factors such as length, complexity, and rotation policy. The gauge's colors range from red (low score) to green (high score).
  • Weak Passwords Gauge: Displays the number of weak passwords as a fraction of the total passwords. Weak passwords are identified based on their lack of complexity and length.
  • Breached Passwords Gauge: Shows the number of passwords that have been compromised in known breaches. This gauge helps users identify vulnerable passwords that should be updated or replaced immediately.
  1. Lower Section: Password List
    Below the gauges is a detailed table listing all passwords, providing users with key information and actionable suggestions:
  • Password Location: The service or app where the password is used.
  • Name of the Password: The name or identifier for the password.
  • Score: A graphical representation of the password's strength (e.g., weak, medium, strong).
  • Suggestion: Provides recommendations for improving password strength.
  • Last Updated: The date when the password was last changed.

Enhanced Filtering Options

Users can apply filters to view specific types of passwords:

  • Filter by Weak Passwords: Filters the list to show only weak passwords.
  • Filter by Breached Passwords: Filters the list to show passwords that have appeared in known breaches.
  • Filter by Update Required Passwords: Filters passwords that need to be updated based on their age or vulnerability.

Toggle for Password Score Feature

A toggle button has been added to allow users to enable or disable the password score feature in their account settings:

  • Toggle Button: Located under "Password Management," the button controls whether the password score is displayed.
  • Default Setting: The feature is disabled by default.
    Functionality: When enabled, password scores are calculated and displayed; when disabled, scores are hidden.
