Password Strength Meter scores a candidate password as you type so weak patterns get caught before they land in a password manager or an account signup form.
Enter the password in the field, read the strength feedback, then adjust length and character variety until the meter looks acceptable for your policy.
Evaluation runs locally in the browser. Still avoid typing your real primary vault master password into any shared or untrusted machine.

FAQ
Is a high score enough?
It is a good signal, but uniqueness and storage practices matter as much as the score.
Where is my password evaluated?
Scoring runs in your browser. Avoid entering secrets on devices you do not trust.
Does it check breach databases?
This meter focuses on strength heuristics, not live breach lookups.
Why is my passphrase scored lower than expected?
Common words and short length still reduce scores. Add length or uncommon structure.
