Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What makes a password strong?
A strong password is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. It should not contain easily guessable information like names or dates.

2. Why is my password rated as "weak"?
A password is considered weak if it is too short, lacks complexity, or follows predictable patterns. For example, using "password123" or common dictionary words decreases strength.

3. Can the tool store my password?
No, this tool only analyzes the password in real-time and does not store any of your personal information or passwords.

4. How often should I test the strength of my passwords?
You should test the strength of your password whenever creating a new one, especially for sensitive accounts such as banking, email, and social media.

5. Is a strong password unbreakable?
While a strong password significantly reduces the chances of being hacked, no password is completely unbreakable. However, using strong passwords, along with two-factor authentication (2FA), greatly enhances your security.
