- For annual figures, divide by 12 to get a monthly number you can compare with the result.
- Bookmark this page and revisit the calculation as the inputs change.
Frequently asked questions
Is my password sent anywhere?
No. Generation and display happen entirely in your browser; the page makes no network request with your password.
How long should a password be?
Length beats complexity. Aim for at least 16 random characters, or use a passphrase of five or more unrelated words.
What does the entropy number mean?
It is an estimate of the number of bits of randomness in the password. Above roughly 70 bits is strong against offline guessing for most accounts.
