What is a Password Strength Checker?

A Password Strength Checker analyses a password and estimates how hard it would be for an attacker to guess or brute-force it. It looks at the length, the mix of character types, and predictable patterns, then reports a strength rating and an estimated time to crack. This tool runs completely in your browser, so the password you type never leaves your device.

How to Use the Password Strength Checker

• Enter a password: Type or paste the password you want to test into the input field.
• Review the strength: The meter updates live with a rating from Very weak to Very strong.
• Check the crack time: See an estimate of how long it would take to brute-force the password.
• Follow the checklist: Improve any criteria marked with a cross to strengthen your password.

Tips for a Strong Password

• Make it long: Length matters most, aim for at least 12-16 characters.
• Mix character types: Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• Avoid common words: Skip dictionary words, names, and keyboard patterns like "qwerty".
• Avoid sequences and repeats: Patterns like "1234" or "aaaa" are easy to guess.
• Use unique passwords: Never reuse the same password across multiple accounts.
• Consider a passphrase: A few random words can be both strong and memorable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is my password sent anywhere?

No. The check runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your password is never sent to a server, stored, or logged.

How is password strength measured?

It uses pattern-based analysis (the open-source zxcvbn engine) that recognises dictionary words, names, keyboard patterns, repeats, sequences, and common substitutions, then estimates how many guesses an attacker would need, the same approach used by leading password managers.

What does the crack time mean?

It is an estimate of how long an attacker would need to guess the password in an offline attack against a slow hash (about 10,000 guesses per second). It is a guide, not a guarantee.

What makes a strong password?

Length is the most important factor. Use at least 12-16 characters mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols, and avoid common words, names, and sequences.
