How to Use the Password Strength Checker

  1. Type the password you want to check.
  2. Click Calculate.
  3. Review the estimated entropy and strength rating.

Formula

Entropy (bits) = Length × log₂(Character Pool Size)

Worked Example

A 12-character password mixing upper/lowercase, numbers, and symbols (pool size 94) has about 79 bits of entropy — rated Strong.

About This Calculator

This check runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript — your password is never transmitted, stored, or sent to any server. Entropy is an estimate of how hard the password would be to guess by brute force.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is password strength estimated?

By evaluating length, character variety, and common patterns or known weak passwords.

What makes a password weak despite looking complex?

Predictable patterns based on common words are easier to crack than they appear.

Is this calculator storing my password?

A well-built checker analyzes it locally in your browser, but always be cautious with real passwords online.
