I thought the joke would be - 'not very, because you just typed it into this site which means you would type it into anywhere'

If you view the page with Javascript disabled, you get

"For security reasons Javascript is required for this website to work.

Why?

Because Javascript runs on your computer.

Which means no information is transferred over the internet when you type in your password.

Which means that no one can intercept it."

Nice way to collect tons of passwords for your dictionary. :)

They need to update their dictionary. For password1:

  It would take
  About 117 days
  for a desktop PC to crack your password

I put in a generic 'yo momma' joke and got this:

  It would take
  About 8 octillion years
  for a desktop PC to crack your password

I think desktop PCs might get a little faster in the next 8 octillion years :)
