Check and Test Your Password Strength




Have you ever wondered what is the best password to use for your accounts such as emails, PC, bank accounts etc? The general perception is that a long password will generally offers better 'protection', but it is only half truth. A complex password is recommended to consist of a combination of upper and lower case, numbers, special characters or symbols.

To check and test your password complexity, you can go to PasswordMeter where you can enter your password you are using (or intended to use) and see if it is complex and strong enough. The site analyzes and rates your password strength as you type and you can see the breakdown of your password in terms of the criteria used to gauge your password.

You can also download the tool to be used offline here.
