Welcome to Crypt, a simple, free to use password tool which analises passwords and returns a score, which can be interpreted by your application however needed.
The algorithm only requires:
- A password (input) Then, it'll output:
- A score (based on how strong the password is)
- A reccomendation on how to improve the score (this may not always be available - particularly for stronger passwords).
How does the scoring work? The scores are based on a range of factors such as:
- Length of the password
- Contents of the password
- Presence of common phrases ("Password", "Qwerty", "12345" etc)
What is a good score? Generally, a strong password has a score of at least 10; however, this can vary from application to application.
What's the highest possible score? There is no highest score a password can have, the score simply increases based on how complex the algorithm believes it is.
