Password Strength Checker


Password strength is the amount of security a password can provide against password-guessing attacks. It can be measured in bits of entropy, effectively a measure of how random a password appears to an attacker.

There are still people who use the name of their spouse as a password. Or the brand of their car, or the name of their cat. Password Strength Checker is designed to assess the strength of password strings.

The instantaneous visual feedback provides the user a means to improve the strength of their passwords, with a hard focus on breaking the typical bad habits of faulty password formulation.

Improve the strength of your password, and allow some random internet guy to record it.

Great idea. Not.

Totally lame. "B|ac7wxB#4qacB|r" scores 0%.
