Password Strength

Estimate offline-attack strength from character-class pool size and length, never storing or transmitting the secret.

Description

Estimate offline-attack strength from character-class pool size and length, never storing or transmitting the secret.

Password Strength: Estimate offline-attack strength from character-class pool size and length, never storing or transmitting the secret.

When to use Password Strength

Use this password-strength estimate to identify obvious weaknesses and compare candidate length and composition without transmitting the secret elsewhere.

Password
Password characters to assess.

How Password Strength works

Estimate offline-attack strength from character-class pool size and length, never storing or transmitting the secret. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Strength band
Offline-attack resistance classification.
Entropy (bits)
Estimated entropy in bits.
Pool size
Detected character-class pool size.
Length
Password length in characters.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Composition scores cannot reliably predict cracking cost because common phrases, reuse, patterns, leaks, attacker models, hashing, and rate limits dominate. A high score does not prove a password is uncompromised.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Use a password manager to generate unique long passwords, enable phishing-resistant multifactor authentication, and check breach exposure with a privacy-preserving service.
