What Makes a Strong Password?

A strong password is one that is difficult for both humans and computers to guess. The key factors are length (longer is better — aim for 16+ characters), complexity (a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols), and randomness (avoid dictionary words, personal info, and common patterns like 123456 or password).

How Password Cracking Works

Attackers use several methods: brute force (trying every possible combination), dictionary attacks (trying common words and variations), and credential stuffing (using leaked passwords from other breaches). A randomly generated 16-character password with all character types has over 1028 possible combinations, making brute force attacks infeasible.

Password Strength Meter

The strength indicator estimates how long it would take to crack your password using modern hardware. It considers length, character variety, and overall entropy.

Tips

Use a unique password for every account. Consider using a password manager to store your passwords securely. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible for an additional layer of security.
