// PASSWORD STRENGTH CHECKER · ABOUT THIS TOOL

About the Password Strength Checker

Most password meters just count character types, which is why "Password1!" scores well yet falls in seconds. This checker measures entropy from the actual character pool and hunts for the patterns guessing engines try first.

The result is a 0 to 4 score, an entropy figure and an honest crack-time estimate, all computed locally. Nothing is uploaded, logged or stored.

Where it helps most

Reality checks for passwords that feel stronger than they are.

Before committing

Test a new password the way an attacker would, before you start using it anywhere.

Auditing old passwords

Run a quick pass over existing passwords you suspect are weaker than they feel.

Teaching good habits

Show teams and family why complexity theater fails and what actually resists guessing.

Checking passphrases

Verify that a memorable passphrase actually carries the entropy you expect before adopting it.

Reading your score

What the verdict actually measures.

Attack methods, not looks

Scores reflect dictionary attacks, pattern matching, keyboard walks, and brute force, not on-screen complexity.

Patterns get caught

l33t substitutions, qwerty sequences, dates, and word-plus-123-plus-! are all recognized instantly.

Length wins

A long random passphrase beats short complex-looking passwords every single time.

Breaches beat scores

No score saves a password already leaked in a data breach, so pair this with a breach lookup.

Password Strength Checker: private by design

Everything is evaluated in your browser and nothing is transmitted anywhere. As a rule, never paste a live password into any site you do not fully trust.
