Generate highly secure, random passwords client-side or enter a password to evaluate its strength and crack complexity using advanced password metrics.
How Password Strength & Crack Time is Evaluated
Unlike basic checkers that count characters or simply look for numbers, this tool utilizes the zxcvbn library developed by Dropbox. It analyzes passwords against large databases of common names, popular dictionary terms, keyboard pattern Swipes, and previous breaches to evaluate a password's true vulnerability.
Calculations show estimated offline dictionary search speeds alongside standard online automated rate limits. Choosing passwords that have high entropy (meaning randomness) prevents brute-force dictionary attacks from gaining access to critical web accounts.
