How Password Strength Is Measured

Entropy

Entropy measures the randomness of a password in bits. Higher entropy means more possible combinations an attacker must try. A password with 80+ bits of entropy is considered very strong.

Breach Check

Uses the HaveIBeenPwned k-anonymity API. Only the first 5 characters of the SHA-1 hash are sent - your full password never leaves your browser.

Pattern Detection

Detects common passwords, keyboard patterns (qwerty, asdf), sequential characters, repeated characters, l33t-speak substitutions, and date patterns.

Strength Levels

Very Weak <30 bits Weak 30-50 bits Fair 50-70 bits Strong 70-90 bits Very Strong 90+ bits

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a strong password?

A strong password is at least 12 characters long, uses a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols, and doesn't contain dictionary words or predictable patterns.

Is the HaveIBeenPwned check safe?

Yes. We use the k-anonymity model — only the first 5 characters of your password's SHA-1 hash are sent to the API. Your actual password never leaves your browser.

What is a passphrase?

A passphrase is a sequence of random words (like "correct-horse-battery-staple") that's easier to remember than random characters but can be equally strong due to its length.
