Security Notice

This password analyzer works entirely in your browser. Your password is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. For maximum security, avoid entering real passwords and use this tool for educational purposes or to analyze test passwords only.

How to Use

## How to Use 1. **Enter Password**: Type or paste the password you want to analyze 2. **Toggle Visibility**: Use the eye icon to show/hide the password 3. **Analyze**: Click "Analyze Password" to start the security assessment 4. **Review Results**: Examine the comprehensive analysis results 5. **Follow Suggestions**: Implement the security recommendations provided ## Understanding the Analysis ### Strength Categories - **Very Strong (80-100%)**: Excellent security, suitable for critical accounts - **Strong (60-79%)**: Good security, suitable for most accounts - **Moderate (40-59%)**: Acceptable security, consider improvements - **Weak (20-39%)**: Poor security, immediate changes recommended - **Very Weak (0-19%)**: Critical security issues, change immediately ### Score Breakdown - **Length Score (25 points)**: Based on password length milestones - **Complexity Score (25 points)**: Character variety and distribution - **Uniqueness Score (25 points)**: Ratio of unique characters - **Pattern Score (25 points)**: Penalties for weak patterns ### Security Metrics - **Entropy**: Higher values indicate more randomness - **Time to Crack**: Based on 1 billion guesses per second - **Character Count**: Detailed breakdown of character types ## Pattern Detection ### Weak Patterns Identified - **Consecutive Characters**: "aaa", "111", "###" - **Repeating Patterns**: "abab", "1212", "qweqwe" - **Common Sequences**: "abc", "123", "qwerty" - **Keyboard Patterns**: "qwerty", "asdfgh", "zxcvbn" - **Dictionary Words**: Common words and phrases ### Security Recommendations - Increase password length to at least 12 characters - Use a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols - Avoid predictable patterns and sequences - Use unique characters throughout the password - Consider using a password generator for critical accounts
