Password Strength Checker
Check how strong your password is and get a score based on length and character variety.
Strength Score
β
How It Works
Score = (length Γ 4) + uppercase bonus (15) + numbers bonus (15) + symbols bonus (20). Scores 80+ = strong; 60β79 = medium; below 60 = weak.
Example
12 characters with uppercase, numbers, and symbols = 98/100. 8 lowercase-only = 32/100.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a password strong?
Length is most important. A 16-character passphrase beats an 8-character complex password. Add variety for extra strength.
Should I use a password manager?
Yes. Managers like 1Password or Bitwarden generate and store unique strong passwords so you only need one master password.
How often should I change passwords?
Current NIST guidelines say change only when you suspect compromise β strong unique passwords with 2FA matter more than frequent changes.
