What makes a password strong?

Length is the most important factor — a 20-character random password is vastly stronger than an 8-character complex password. Avoid dictionary words, names, dates, keyboard patterns (qwerty), and common substitutions (@ for a, 3 for e).

How is password crack time calculated?

Crack time estimates assume an attacker uses optimized hardware for offline attacks (billions of guesses per second for fast hashes like MD5, thousands per second for bcrypt). Modern GPUs can test 10 billion MD5 passwords per second.

What is the zxcvbn algorithm?

zxcvbn is an open-source password strength estimator developed by Dropbox. Instead of simple rules (has uppercase? has number?), it uses pattern matching against common passwords, names, dictionary words, and keyboard patterns to estimate real-world attack resistance.

What is Password Strength?

A strong password is long, unpredictable, and avoids common patterns — but 'strong' is hard to define without a scoring system. DailyDevTools' Password Strength Checker evaluates passwords using the zxcvbn algorithm, which estimates crack time based on pattern matching, dictionary attacks, and common password databases — giving you a realistic assessment rather than just checking for uppercase letters.
