🔒 Password Strength Checker

What Makes a Strong Password?

Length is the most important factor — a 16-character password with random words is stronger than an 8-character password with symbols. Each additional character multiplies the time to crack by 10-100x. A 12-character password with mixed case, numbers, and symbols has 72^12 possible combinations (about 19 sextillion). At 1 billion guesses per second, that takes 600+ years to crack by brute force.

Use a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden, or Apple Keychain) to generate and store unique passwords for every site. Reusing passwords is the single biggest security risk — if one site is breached, every account using that password is compromised. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on all important accounts as a second layer of defense.
