Password Strength Checker

Check how strong your password is and get tips.

How strength is judged

The checker looks at length, the mix of character types, repeated patterns, common words and sequences such as 123456 or qwerty. Length and unpredictability are the factors that matter most.

What a strong password looks like

  • At least 14 to 16 characters for important accounts
  • Random, or several unrelated words together
  • Not used on any other site

What to avoid

  • Names, birth dates and phone numbers
  • Simple substitutions such as a to @
  • Keyboard patterns

Privacy

The test runs in your browser. Even so, it is wise not to type a real password you use on important accounts into any website. Test a similar example instead, and use a password manager to create the real one.
