Understanding Entropy
Entropy measures password randomness in bits. Higher entropy = harder to crack.
Password Entropy Calculator & Strength Analyzer
What is Password Entropy?
Password entropy is a measurement of how unpredictable and random a password is. It's measured in bits, where each additional bit doubles the number of possible combinations an attacker must try. Our calculator analyzes your password's character composition and length to determine its entropy and estimate crack time.
Why Check Password Strength?
With modern computing power, weak passwords can be cracked in seconds. Our tool helps you understand whether your password is strong enough for different use cases, from social media to banking. We check against common passwords, detect personal information, and provide actionable suggestions.
How We Calculate Strength
- Character Set Size: More character types = higher entropy
- Password Length: Each character multiplies combinations
- Common Patterns: Sequential or repeating chars reduce strength
- Breach Database: Check against known compromised passwords
- Personal Info: Detect username, birthdate, etc.
Unique Features
- Compare multiple passwords side-by-side
- Personal data detection to avoid risky patterns
- Local history tracking (never sent to servers)
- Real-world attack scenario estimates
- Category-specific safety recommendations
Entropy & Security Glossary
- Password Entropy
- The measurement of password unpredictability in bits. Calculated as log₂(possible combinations). Each additional bit doubles crack difficulty.
- Crack Time
- Estimated time for an attacker to guess your password using brute force methods at a specific guessing rate (attempts per second).
- Common Password
- Passwords found in breach databases or frequently used lists. These are vulnerable regardless of complexity due to dictionary attacks.
- Personal Information
- Data like usernames, birth years, or names that can be discovered through social engineering, making passwords predictable.
- Attack Scenario
- The computing power and method used by attackers, ranging from online rate-limited (100K/sec) to AI-powered attacks (1T/sec).
- Character Composition
- The distribution of lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols in your password. Diverse composition increases entropy.
Frequently Asked Questions about Password Entropy & Time-to-crack Estimator
Entropy is a measure of the unpredictability or randomness of a password. Higher entropy means the password is harder to guess or crack.
