Password Strength Checker

How strong is your password really? Get a score, entropy and crack-time estimate.

–Score (0–100)
–Entropy (bits)
–Time to crack
Checked locally in your browser — your password is never sent anywhere. For maximum safety, test passwords similar to yours rather than the real one.

How this works

The checker measures your password’s character pool (lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols) and length to compute entropy in bits — the true measure of guessing difficulty.

It then estimates crack time against 10 billion guesses per second (a serious attacker’s rig) and flags common patterns: dictionary words, sequences and repeats.

Frequently Asked Questions

What score should I aim for?

75+ for important accounts. Anything under 35 can fall in seconds to modern cracking rigs.

Is it safe to type my real password here?

The check runs locally and nothing is transmitted — but for peace of mind, test a similar password instead of the real one.

Why is length more important than complexity?

Each extra character multiplies the search space. A 16-character passphrase beats an 8-character symbol soup.

How to use the Password Strength Checker

  1. Type a password — the score updates live.
  2. Read the meter: score, entropy bits and crack-time estimate.
  3. Follow the feedback to fix weak spots.

Why use our Password Strength Checker?

  • Live scoring — instant feedback as you type.
  • Entropy + crack time — real numbers, not vague labels.
  • Actionable tips — exactly what to fix and why.
  • Private by design — checked locally, never transmitted.
