Rune pro tipsPro Tips

  • Aim for at least 80/100 strength score. Passwords scoring below 40 can be cracked in minutes.
  • Length matters more than complexity, a 20-character lowercase password is stronger than an 8-character mixed one.
  • Avoid using personal information like birthdays, names, or pet names in passwords.
  • Use a password manager to store unique, strong passwords for every account.

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions? Here are the answers about Password Strength Checker

Is my password safe when I type it here?

Password analysis runs locally in your browser. Avoid testing real production passwords on any website unless you understand the risk.

Why is the crack time only an estimate?

Crack time depends on attacker hardware, hash type, leaks, reuse, and guessing strategy. Treat the estimate as a rough signal, not a guarantee.

What is password entropy?

Entropy measures randomness in bits. Higher entropy means the password is harder to guess. It's calculated as: length × log₂(charset size). A 12-character password using all character types has about 79 bits of entropy.

Why does my password score low even though it looks complex?

Common passwords, keyboard patterns (qwerty, 1234), and repeated characters are heavily penalized. The tool checks for real-world attack patterns, not just character variety.

What score should I aim for?

Aim for 80+ (Strong or Very Strong). Scores below 40 are considered weak and vulnerable to brute-force attacks. Scores of 60-80 are fair but could be improved.

Does this tool check if my password has been leaked?

No. This tool analyzes password strength based on complexity and patterns. To check if your password appears in known data breaches, use a dedicated breach-checking service.

Should I paste a real account password?

For sensitive accounts, it is safer to test a similar pattern or use an offline password manager audit. Never share real passwords with anyone.

What makes a password 'Very Strong'?

A password scoring 80+ typically has 16+ characters, includes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols, avoids common words and patterns, and has high entropy.
