Use Password Strength Checker three ways

The free Password Strength Checker on this page works in your browser. The same workflow is available via REST API for apps and via MCP for Cursor, Claude, and other agents — one API key, one plan, one quota. This tool is part of the security-apis module under Security Tools.

What is Password Strength Checker?

Estimate whether a password is trivially weak before you ship signup rules. ToolYour Password Strength Checker scores length, character classes, rough entropy, and a short common-password list. It is a heuristic — not a substitute for breach databases or server-side rate limits. REST/MCP POST with { "password": "..." }. Prefer not to paste real production passwords into public forms.

What are common questions about Password Strength Checker?

Do you store passwords I check?

Inputs are processed for the score only. Still avoid pasting real high-value credentials when you can use a similar test string.

What does the score mean?

A rough strength label (very-weak → strong) from length, charset mix, and entropy heuristics plus common-password hits.

What are the key features of Password Strength Checker?

Entropy estimate

Bits estimate from length × charset size for relative comparisons.

Actionable issues

Short checklist: length, case mix, digits, symbols, common list.

How do you use Password Strength Checker?

Enter a candidate password

Use a test string when evaluating policy, not a live vault secret.

Tighten policy

Prefer longer passphrases; pair with your secure password generator.

Policy tip

Length beats complex short passwords. Encourage passphrases and a password manager; enforce breach checks on your server.
