In today's age, the secure storage of personal or professional data online is a must. A possible security vulnerability can be the password if it is too simply designed and therefore becomes an easy target for hackers. The problem lies in the fact that one doesn't exactly know how secure one's own password really is and how long a potential attack to decrypt it would take. There is also uncertainty about which elements contribute to a secure password and what weaknesses it might have. Therefore, concerns arise regarding the integrity of one's own password and the potential dangers associated with it through hacker attacks.
I have concerns that my password is too simple and quickly crackable for hackers.
"How Secure Is My Password" is an online tool that evaluates the strength of a password by estimating how long a hacking attack would take to decrypt it. It takes into account criteria such as password length, as well as the number and type of characters used, to enable a comprehensive evaluation of password strength. Through this analysis, it helps to uncover potential vulnerabilities of the password and thus provides valuable insights for creating a secure password.
