Generate Secure Passwords

What is this?

This tool estimates how long it would take to crack your password using different attack scenarios. It uses advanced algorithms including Grover's quantum algorithm for quantum computer attacks. Auto-updates with latest hardware benchmarks!

What do I do?

  1. Enter your password (or leave blank and enter entropy bits directly)
  2. Choose an attack scenario (quantum computer, supercomputer, etc.)
  3. Choose hash algorithm (affects cracking speed)
  4. Click "Calculate Crack Time" to see results

What are Entropy Bits?

Entropy bits measure the randomness and unpredictability of your password. Higher entropy means the password is harder to guess or crack.

Character Set Impact:
  • Lowercase (a-z): ~4.7 bits per character
  • Uppercase (A-Z): ~4.7 bits per character
  • Numbers (0-9): ~3.3 bits per character
  • Symbols (!@#$%): ~5.9 bits per character
Security Levels:
  • 0-19 score: Very Weak (easily cracked)
  • 20-39 score: Weak (minutes to hours)
  • 40-59 score: Moderate (hours to days)
  • 60-79 score: Strong (days to weeks)
  • 80-99 score: Excellent (weeks to months)
  • 50+ chars: Moderate (length-based)
  • 128+ chars: Strong (length-based)
  • 520+ chars: Extra Strong (length-based)
Formula: Entropy = log₂(character_set_size^password_length) - pattern_penalties + complexity_bonuses

Password Security Tips

  • Use at least 16 characters for strong security
  • Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
  • Avoid common patterns and dictionary words
  • Use unique passwords for each account
  • Consider using a password manager
  • Enable two-factor authentication when possible
  • Be aware of quantum computing threats
  • Regularly update passwords for critical accounts
