Password strength

Estimate how strong a password is from its length and character variety: entropy in bits, a rough crack-time estimate and a checklist of good practices.

Estimate how strong a password is from its length and character variety: entropy in bits, a rough crack-time estimate and a checklist of good practices.

How to use

  1. Type a password (toggle visibility if you like)
  2. See the strength rating and entropy in bits
  3. Read the estimated crack time
  4. Follow the checklist to strengthen it

Frequently asked questions

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. The check runs entirely in your browser — the password never leaves the page.

How is strength estimated?

From entropy: password length times the log2 of the character-set size, then rated from very weak to very strong.

Is a high score a guarantee?

No. Entropy assumes a random password; a long but predictable phrase or a leaked password can still be weak in practice.
