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.

Công thức

Entropy (bits) = log₂(charset_size) × length

Hướng dẫn từng bước

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

Ví dụ có lời giải

đầu vào
"password" — 8 chars, lowercase only
Kết quả
Entropy ~37.6 bits — Very Weak
đầu vào
"P@ssw0rd" — 8 chars, all character types
Kết quả
Entropy ~52 bits — Fair
đầu vào
"xK#9mP2$nQ7!" — 12 chars, all types
Kết quả
Entropy ~78 bits — Very Strong
