Overview

Estimates a password's strength from its length and character variety, and shows an approximate time to crack it offline — helping you judge whether a password is strong enough before using it.

How to use it

  1. 1Type a password.
  2. 2Review its strength score, estimated crack time and any specific weaknesses found.

How it works

Estimates entropy (bits of randomness) from the password's length and which character sets it draws from, then converts that into an approximate crack time assuming a realistic offline attack rate of about 10 billion guesses per second.

Tips

  • Length matters more than complexity — a 16-character passphrase of random words is typically stronger than an 8-character password with symbols crammed in.
  • This never sends your password anywhere — it's typed into your browser and analyzed entirely on your device.
