Type Password
Note: Password Checker can help you to gauge the strength of your password. It is for personal reference only. Password Checker does not guarantee the security of the password itself.
Do you use strong passwords?
A strong password should be made up of a random string of characters. It should be roughly about 14 characters or longer, (eight characters or longer at a minimum) and should include a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Do not make up passwords with names of places, your favourite football team, pets names and things like that as it is very easy for an attacker, or hacker to crack. The harder you make your password the better chance you have of protecting yourself as they will usually go somewhere else to look for easier passwords to crack.
