parts (which is likely to be a rare occurrence).
+* Only the first 100 characters of a password are used in the full entropy estimation calculation.
+This length is given by the ZXCVBN_DETAIL_LEN preprocessor macro and can be altered on the
+compiler command line. The remaining characters are given a low entropy value, roughly equivalent
+to incrementing sequence of the same length.
