Tool workspace

Scores length, character variety, and common weak patterns in your browser. Educational heuristic only — never uploaded.

  • Lowercase letter
  • Uppercase letter
  • Number
  • Symbol
  • No common weak patterns

Tips

Type a password to see a live strength estimate.

How it works

Type a password. Scoring updates as you type.

Heuristic (v1):
• Length bonuses at 8+, 12+, and 16+ characters
• Character-class bonuses for lowercase, uppercase, digits, and symbols
• Penalties for repeated runs, sequential runs (abcd / 1234), and keyboard walks (qwerty)
• Extremely common passwords score Very weak

Labels: Very weak (0) → Weak (1) → Fair (2) → Strong (3) → Very strong (4). Tips call out what is missing.

Empty or whitespace-only input clears the result—no error. Results are an educational estimate only — not a cracker, breach check, or security audit.

This tool does not send your password to a server.

Examples

  • password → Very weak (common password)
  • Tr0ub4dor&3 → mid-range (short for today’s guidance)
  • Long unique passphrase with mixed classes → Strong / Very strong

Privacy

Privacy: this tool scores passwords locally in your browser. We do not log or store what you type. Login is not required. Educational heuristic only — not a security audit.

FAQ

Is my password uploaded?

No. Scoring runs entirely in your browser. We do not log what you type.

Is a “Very strong” score a guarantee?

No. This is a simple educational heuristic. Prefer a unique password from a password manager, and check breaches separately when needed.

Do you use zxcvbn or similar libraries?

No. The meter uses a clear in-house length/charset/pattern heuristic so you can see exactly what is scored.

Do I need an account?

No. All published tools work for guests without login.
