A password that satisfies every common composition rule, one uppercase letter, one number, one symbol, can still be genuinely weak if it follows a predictable pattern like capitalizing the first letter and tacking a "1!" onto the end, exactly the kind of password composition rules encourage without actually measuring how unpredictable the result really is. Entropy measures that unpredictability directly, in bits, rather than checking off a checklist of character types, which is a meaningfully different and more honest way to score a password's actual strength.

This tool checks a password's entropy and returns specific, practical suggestions for genuinely improving it, rather than just a pass or fail against composition rules. Useful for understanding why a password that technically meets every complexity rule might still be weak, or getting concrete suggestions for strengthening a password beyond just adding another required character type.

Quick answers for Password Strength Checker

How is the entropy number calculated?
It multiplies your password's length by the log2 of the character pool size implied by what you used, lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols, or other characters, so a longer password drawing from more character types scores higher entropy.
What does the crack time estimate assume about the attacker?
It assumes ten billion guesses per second, then divides two to the power of your entropy by that rate, ranging from instant for weak passwords up to figures like "3.2 billion years" for very strong ones.
Is my password sent anywhere to be checked?
No, every calculation, the entropy, crack time, and suggestions, runs in your browser using the characters you typed, the Show/Hide toggle only affects the input field's own masking.
