Step-by-step instructions
Use it as a quick educational check when creating a password. It is a guide, not a guarantee that a password has never been exposed elsewhere.
Enter a test password
Enter a password you want to evaluate. For an important account, avoid exposing a password that is already in active use.
Review the strength result
Read the tool’s feedback about length, character variety and other visible rules.
Look for predictable choices
Check whether the password uses names, dates, keyboard sequences, repeated characters or common words.
Create a stronger replacement
Prefer a longer unique password or a password-manager-generated credential rather than making many small predictable changes.
Store the final password securely
Save the unique credential in a password manager and avoid sharing it in plain text.
Practical tips
- Do not treat a high score as proof that a password is breach-free.
- Avoid personal information and common substitutions such as replacing “a” with “@”.
- Use unique credentials for important services.
Frequently asked questions
Does a strength score prove a password is safe?
No. A score can measure visible characteristics, but it cannot establish whether a password has appeared in a breach or leaked password list.
What makes a password stronger?
Greater length, uniqueness and less predictable structure are important factors.
Should I test my real password?
For sensitive accounts, it is safer to use a test value or create a new credential with a password manager rather than exposing an active secret unnecessarily.
