Your solution of mapping to a grading system A,B,C,D; or terrible, crap, better, best was mentioned in another thread about this article. It's a common thought, however it's incorrect because you're still leaking substantial information about passwords. By storing entropy of any kind: whole number, graded, > threshold, etc you are weakening your password hash. This is completely unnecessary where better solutions exist: TFA
