This password checker evaluates your password based on several key factors:

• Character variety (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols)
• Password length and complexity
• Similarity to top one million passwords
• Entropy (measure of randomness)

• Use at least 12 characters - longer passwords are harder to crack
• Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters
• Avoid personal information (birthdays, names, etc.)
• Don't use common word patterns or keyboard patterns (qwerty, 123456)
• Consider using a password manager to generate and store secure passwords

Entropy measures the unpredictability of your password:

• Below 40 bits: Very weak, easily crackable
• 40-60 bits: Moderate strength
• 60-80 bits: Strong
• 80+ bits: Very strong, suitable for sensitive accounts

The time-to-crack estimate assumes:

• A high-end computer making 10 billion guesses per second
• No prior knowledge of the password pattern
• Brute force attack methodology

Real-world scenarios may vary based on the attacker's resources and methods.
