Frequently Asked Questions - Password Strength Calculator

What makes a password strong?

A strong password typically has 12+ characters, uses a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. It should avoid common words, personal information, and predictable patterns. Higher entropy (randomness) and uniqueness for each account are crucial for security.

How is password entropy calculated?

Entropy measures password unpredictability in bits. It's calculated using the formula: log2(character_set_size^password_length). For example, a 12-character password using all 94 printable ASCII characters has ~79 bits of entropy. Higher entropy means exponentially more time required to crack the password.

Is my password safe when using this tool?

Yes, your password is completely safe. All analysis is performed locally in your browser using JavaScript. No passwords are transmitted to external servers or stored anywhere. The tool works entirely offline once loaded, ensuring complete privacy and security.

What is the difference between online and offline attacks?

Online attacks attempt to guess passwords through login forms and are limited by rate limiting and account lockouts. Offline attacks occur when attackers have access to password hashes and can attempt billions of guesses per second. Our crack time estimates assume offline attacks, representing worst-case scenarios.

Should I use the generated passwords from this tool?

Our password generator uses cryptographically secure random number generation to create strong passwords. However, for maximum security, consider using dedicated password managers like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass, which offer additional features like secure storage, auto-fill, and breach monitoring.
