As SQL Secure analyzes the password health of your SQL logins, it records one of the following results. These findings are displayed in the corresponding Login Properties window and the Login Vulnerability report.

Password health resultsWhat it means
BlankThe password for this login is either blank or null, which means no password is required for authentication or successful connection to databases hosted by your audited SQL Server instances.
Matches login nameThe password for this login matches the name of the login.
N/AThe password for this login was not checked, most likely because either the login is a Windows user account or weak password detection is disabled.
OKThis login most likely has a strong password because the password does not match any of the words and phrases in the Default Weak Passwords list or the additional and custom passwords you specified.
WeakThe password for this login matches one or more of the words and phrases in the Default Weak Passwords list or the additional and custom passwords you specified.

About password detection

When weak password detection is disabled, SQL Secure stops collecting password health data. All previously collected data remains stored in the SQL Secure Repository database and can be evaluated using your policy assessments. For future assessments, SQL Secure will no longer report on whether any SQL login passwords are considered weak but it will continue to report on whether a password is blank.
