Frequently Asked Questions
How is password strength calculated?
Strength is based on length, character variety (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), entropy, and checking against common password lists.
What makes a strong password?
Strong passwords are 12+ characters with mixed case, numbers, and symbols. Avoid dictionary words, personal info, and sequential patterns.
Is my password sent to a server?
No, all analysis is done locally in your browser. Your password never leaves your device, ensuring complete privacy.
What is password entropy?
Entropy measures randomness in bits. Higher entropy means more possible combinations and harder to crack. 60+ bits is considered strong.
