Password Strength Guide

About this tool

Estimate how much work a password represents by measuring its entropy, assuming a specific number of guesses per second, and reporting how long a cracking rig would need. It is an estimate with stated assumptions rather than a verdict, which is the honest way to present this.

Questions

Why does my password score badly?
It may be short or include one of the common words this tool checks. The estimate mostly uses length and character types; it cannot spot every predictable pattern. A high score is not a reason to reuse a password.
Is my password sent anywhere?
The tool computes its estimate in your browser. Still, the field displays your text openly. Use made-up examples, not a password from a real account.
