Password strength checker

Is Your Password a Fort Knox or a Screen Door? Find Out Instantly.

Let’s be real. We all know we’re supposed to use strong, unique passwords. But sometimes, “password123” or your pet’s name followed by your birthday just feels so much… easier. Until you get that sinking feeling in your gut wondering, “Could a hacker guess this in seconds?”

You don’t have to wonder anymore. Our Password Strength Checker is your instant reality check. It’s a free, simple tool that analyzes your password in real-time and tells you exactly how tough it is to crack. No lectures, just straight facts.

Why Should You Even Care About Password Strength?

Because your password is the key to your entire digital life. A weak password is like leaving your house key under the doormat.

• Prevent Identity Theft: Strong passwords protect your personal and financial information from being stolen.
• Stop Account Takeovers: Hackers often try stolen passwords on multiple sites (email, social media, banking). A unique, strong password for each account stops this “domino effect.”
• Sleep Better at Night: Knowing your accounts are secure gives you peace of mind. It’s one less thing to worry about.

How Does the Checker Work? (It’s Not Magic, It’s Math)

We don’t just guess. The tool analyzes your password based on key factors hackers use:

• Length: This is the #1 most important thing. Every extra character makes it exponentially harder to crack. 8 characters is okay. 12+ is strong.
• Complexity: Does it use UPPERCASE, lowercase, numbers, and $ymb0l5? Mixing character types creates a much larger pool of possibilities for a hacker to guess.
• Unpredictability: Is it based on a common word, your name, or a simple pattern like “123”? These are the first things hackers try.
• Uniqueness: Is it used on multiple websites? (We can’t see this, but it’s a critical factor for you to remember!).

How to Check Your Password’s Strength

This is the easiest security audit you’ll ever do.

1. Type Your Password: Enter your password into the tool. For your safety, make sure you’re on a secure, private connection.
2. Get Instant Feedback: The meter will instantly show you a strength rating (Weak, Medium, Strong, Very Strong) and often specific feedback.
3. Learn & Improve: The tool will tell you why your password is weak or strong, and give you tips to make it stronger.

A Super Important Note on Trust & Privacy

Let’s address the elephant in the room: “Should I type my password into some website?”

YES, but only if you trust it completely. Here’s why you can trust ours:

• We Never See Your Password. The analysis happens instantly right in your own web browser. Your password is never sent over the internet to our servers. It never gets stored, logged, or seen by us. It’s like checking the weight of something on a scale; the scale doesn’t remember what it weighed.
• Your Privacy is 100% Protected. This is our golden rule. We designed this tool to be safe for you to use.

What Makes a Password Truly Strong?

After you check, use these rules to build a fortress:

1. Longer is Stronger: Aim for at least 12-16 characters.
2. Get Weird: Use a random mix of letters (upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols.
3. Avoid the Obvious: Never use dictionary words, pet names, birthdates, or common sequences (“qwerty,” “12345”).
4. Be Unique: Use a different password for every single important account.

The Best Strategy? Use a passphrase. Think of a random sentence and use the first letters, numbers, and symbols.

• Example: “My first car was a 2002 Honda Accord!” becomes Mfcwa2002HA!
