Password checker:Test the strength of your passwords

PasswordChecker

Your online accounts, computer files, and personal information are more secure when you use strong passwords to help protect them.
Note: Password Checker can help you to gauge the strength of your password. It is for personal reference only. Password Checker does not guarantee the security of the password itself.

Do you use strong passwords?

A strong password should appear to be a random string of characters to an attacker. It should be 14 characters or longer, (eight characters or longer at a minimum). It should include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

For tips on how to create passwords and pass phrases that are easy for you to remember but difficult for others to guess. a strong password checklist, and more, read Strong passwords: How to create and use them.

About Password Checker

Checked mine and my passwords for the my mails were weak :( so I changed it… usually, if your password is alphanumeric, that would come as strong.
