Analyze your password in depth

Recreates the classic PasswordMeter logic within the password.es design. Enter your password, review the bonuses and detect repetitions, predictable patterns and deductions that weaken your key.

All analysis happens in your browser. We never send information or store the results.

We hide the password by default. You can toggle visibility with the side button.

The verdict comes from the time, not from a percentage.

What we found in your password

Brute force is estimated at 1012 guesses per second, the order of magnitude of an offline attack against a fast hash — the same model the generator uses. Against a slow hash (bcrypt, Argon2) the figure rises by many orders of magnitude.

How this works, and what it cannot know

We look your password up in dictionaries of leaked passwords, words, first names, surnames, cities, dates and keyboard walks, and we recognise common tricks like writing backwards or swapping a for @. We use zxcvbn-ts, open source, running entirely in your browser.

What we cannot know: if we find a pattern, the figure is reliable — that pattern is the shortcut an attacker would take. If we find none, the figure is only a ceiling: it means we don’t know your pattern, not that there isn’t one.

That is why the only exact figure on this site is in the generator: there the machine creates the password at random, so we know exactly how many combinations exist. Here we can only estimate.

We never send your password anywhere and we never store it. The only thing travelling over the network is the analyser, downloaded when you start typing.
