Passphrase Entropy Estimator — Search Space and Crack Time

Estimate Shannon entropy, search-space size, and theoretical crack time from passphrase length and character pool, with a strength label. Calculation stays in the browser. Labels are heuristic—high entropy does not prove a passphrase is safe against every attack.

Use cases

  • Check whether a passphrase is long enough in entropy terms
  • Compare entropy under different character pools
  • Run a quick local strength rough-check before compliance reviews

How to use

  1. Enter a passphrase or short phrase
  2. Review entropy bits, search space, and estimated time
  3. Copy the summary if needed

Summary

Entropy bits and strength label from length and character pool

FAQ

How is this different from the password strength tester?

Both estimate locally. This tool emphasizes entropy bits, search space, and time scale. The password strength tester adds a clearer score bar and improvement tips.

Does the passphrase leave the browser?

No. Entropy and time estimates are calculated locally.

Password Strength Tester — Entropy and Crack-Time Estimate

Available

Estimate password entropy, character-pool size, and theoretical offline crack time from length and character classes, with improvement suggestions. Evaluation runs entirely in the browser; passwords are not uploaded. Results are theoretical heuristics, not a guarantee of real-world security.
