Test a password, build a better one.
Try a password
Everything happens on your device. Nothing is sent or saved. Still, do not type a real password you use. Try a similar one instead.
Start typing to see the result.
How is this worked out?
We imagine a criminal who has stolen a database of scrambled passwords and can try 10 billion guesses a second on fast computers. That is a tough case, but it happens. Common words, names, years and keyboard patterns are tried first, so they count for very little. Length and randomness are what really protect you. The time is a rough estimate, not a promise.
Build a passphrase
Several random words are long, strong and easier to remember than a jumble of symbols. Pick how many and press New.
These are chosen at random on your device with the browser's secure random generator, from a list of 2,048 words. For real accounts, a password manager can create and remember strong passwords for you, so you need one memorable passphrase for the manager itself.

- Long and unique. A different long password for every important account, so one leak does not open them all.
- Turn on 2-step verification. A code or approval on your phone stops most takeovers, even if your password is stolen.
- Use a password manager. It remembers everything so you only need one strong passphrase.
- Never share codes. Not with friends, not with "support", not with anyone.
