Password Entropy Calculator

Calculate password entropy and estimated crack time. Understand how long it would take to brute-force your password at various attack speeds.

Applications

Evaluate password strength for personal security, compliance requirements, and security audits. Understand how different character sets and lengths affect crack times.

The Formula

Entropy (E) = L × log₂(N), where L is password length and N is the character set size. Total combinations = N^L. Crack time assumes average case (half the keyspace).

Fun Fact: A password with 60 bits of entropy would take the world's fastest supercomputer longer than the age of the universe to crack!
