Why Use a Password Strength Checker?
In the age of frequent data breaches and credential stuffing attacks, a weak password is a significant liability. Our Password Strength Checker uses real-time entropy analysis to determine how difficult it would be for a computer to guess your credentials.
Is This Tool Private?
Yes. Unlike many online tools, our checker runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your password is never uploaded to a server, never stored in a database, and remains completely private to your local device. This "Zero-Knowledge" approach ensures maximum security.
Best Practices for a Strong Password
- Length Matters: Every additional character increases the "entropy" (randomness) exponentially. Aim for 12-16 characters.
- Avoid Patterns: Avoid common sequences like "12345" or "qwerty".
- Use Passphrases: Instead of a word with symbols, try a long sentence with random words (e.g., Correct-Horse-Battery-Staple).
- Enable MFA: Even with a strong password, Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) provides a critical second layer of defense.
