Password Strength Checker
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your input is not sent to any server and is not saved.
How to use
- STEP 1
- Type a password to see the strength bar and verdict (Weak/Fair/Strong) in real time.
- STEP 2
- Use the advice below to adjust length, character sets, and patterns.
- STEP 3
- Once it's strong enough, optionally open the Password Generator to create and evaluate stronger candidates.
Notes
- This is a simplified assessment. Actual safety also depends on usage (no reuse, proper management).
- Real-world threats vary (dictionary/brute-force/social engineering). For critical accounts, use long, complex passwords with two-factor authentication.
- Inputs are never sent to a server. Feel free to test safely.
Tips
12–16+ characters with mixed cases, digits, and symbols increases guesses required exponentially.
Never reuse passwords. A single leak can compromise many accounts.
Password managers make using long, complex passwords practical.
Dictionary attacks target common words and patterns (e.g., Season2025!). Avoid predictable phrases.
Bad examples: sequences/keyboard rows (1234, qwerty), repeats (aaaa), common substitutions (P@ssw0rd).
Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). Even if a password leaks, MFA helps contain damage.
FAQ
QUESTION 1
How is the score calculated?
We estimate based on length, character diversity (upper/lower/digits/symbols), and penalties for repeats, sequences, and common words.
QUESTION 2
Is my input saved?
No. Everything runs locally; we don't send or store your data.
QUESTION 3
How to make it safer?
Use 12+ characters, add diverse character sets, avoid predictable patterns, and enable two-factor authentication (MFA).
QUESTION 4
Can I use spaces or emojis?
It depends on the service. When allowed, they can increase the search space, but mind input handling on login.
QUESTION 5
Could a ‘Strong’ password still be compromised?
Yes. Breaches can happen via phishing, malware, or reused leaked databases. MFA and unique passwords remain essential.
QUESTION 6
Do I need to rotate passwords regularly?
Modern guidance favors changing upon signs of compromise. Prefer long, strong, unique passwords plus MFA.
QUESTION 7
Password vs passphrase — which is better?
A long, memorable passphrase (e.g., four unrelated words plus symbols) is effective. Avoid quotes or predictable phrases.
