Free online password strength checker
Check your password for common weak patterns without sending it anywhere. The checker counts Unicode characters, looks for common passwords and obvious variants, detects repeated blocks and simple sequences, and gives concrete improvement tips. Results update as you type, and your password stays on this page.
How to check your password strength
- Type or paste a password into the field. Use Show and Hide to control visibility.
- Read the result and the specific patterns detected.
- Use the improvement tips, or try the public weak example to see how the checks work.
- Choose Clear password when finished to erase the input, hide it, and reset the results.
What the result means
A longer password can still be predictable: Password123! follows
a common pattern, and abcabcabcabc repeats the same block.
"No obvious pattern found" means this limited set of checks did not find a
weakness. It does not mean the password is unique, has not been leaked, or
will withstand every attack. This tool does not calculate entropy or a cracking time.
Length, uniqueness, and practical protection
NIST's password guidance sets a 15-character minimum for passwords used as the only authentication factor, without requiring a particular mix of uppercase letters, digits, or symbols. A password manager can create and store unique passwords for each account. For memorable passphrases, use randomly chosen words, avoiding famous phrases or personal information. Enable multi-factor authentication where available. Need a new candidate? Use the password generator.
