A password strength checker uses Shannon entropy to quantify how hard a password is to crack. Entropy measures unpredictability based on character set size and password length — higher is harder to guess.

공식

Entropy (bits) = log₂(charset_size) × length

단계별 가이드

1Entropy (bits) = log₂(charset_size) × length
2Charset grows by adding: uppercase (+26), lowercase (+26), digits (+10), symbols (+32)
3A 12-character password using all four types yields ~78 bits entropy
4Rule of thumb: 60+ bits = strong, 80+ bits = very strong

풀어진 예시

입력

"password" — 8 chars, lowercase only

결과

Entropy ~37.6 bits — Very Weak

입력

"P@ssw0rd" — 8 chars, all character types

결과

Entropy ~52 bits — Fair

입력

"xK#9mP2$nQ7!" — 12 chars, all types

결과

Entropy ~78 bits — Very Strong
