How password strength is measured

We group passwords into four clear levels. Use this as a guide to understand where your password stands.

Category
Typical pattern
Recommended action
Very weak
Short passwords, common words, simple sequences like "123456", "password", or keyboard patterns.
Change immediately. Use a much longer, unique password.
Weak
Slightly longer but still predictable. Often missing symbols or a mix of character types.
Improve by adding length, symbols, and randomness.
Good
Long enough with mixed characters. Harder to guess but may still contain patterns or reused parts.
Acceptable for low risk accounts. Strengthen for important logins.
Strong
Very long, random, unique, and includes a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
Ideal for important accounts and sensitive data.

Password security FAQ

Common questions about strong passwords, password managers, and staying safe online.

❓Is it safe to check my password here? ›
Yes. The check runs only in your browser. Your password is never sent to a server or stored anywhere. You can also use a sample or test password if you prefer.
❓What makes a password strong? ›
A strong password is long, unique, and hard to guess. Aim for at least 12 characters and mix lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols. Avoid names, dates, and common phrases.
❓Can I reuse the same password on different sites? ›
Reusing passwords is risky. If one site is hacked, attackers may try the same password on other accounts. Always keep passwords unique for email, banking, social media, and work logins.
❓How can a password manager help me? ›
A password manager creates and stores strong, unique passwords for every account. You only remember one master password, and the app fills in the rest for you on trusted devices.

Tips for creating strong passwords

Combine length, variety, and randomness to build passwords that are easy for you to manage and hard for others to crack.

📏
Use length as your first defense
Aim for at least 12 to 16 characters, especially on email, banking, and work accounts. Longer passwords take far more time and power to break.
🎲
Avoid patterns and common words
Stay away from names, birthdays, or predictable phrases. Mix random words and characters instead of using simple substitutions like "0" instead of "o".
🔑
Use a password manager
Generate and store strong, unique passwords for every account. You only need to remember one master password.
🧱
Turn on two factor authentication
Add an extra security layer using a one time code or hardware key. Even if a password leaks, your accounts stay safer.
🚫
Never share passwords in messages
Avoid sending passwords over email, chat, or text. If you must share access, use secure sharing tools in your password manager when available.
🔁
Retire old, weak passwords
Replace reused or simple passwords, starting with accounts that hold sensitive personal or financial information.
