Are online password strength checker secure?

Is it actually safe to use an online password strength checker to test your password secure? Because of AI and scam?

NO!!!

Remember, there will never be 100 % secured on the internet. Websites can be hacked or faked to deceive the user. Some malicious websites may pose as legitimate password checkers to steal your password.

BUT

You should still use an online password checker:

• Password checkers evaluate the complexity of your passwords, ensuring they meet the criteria for a strong password.
• They show you why the popular password "12345678" isn't safe.
• Many password checkers provide feedback and tips on how to create stronger passwords, educating users on best practices.

This should be considered before using a password checker:

• You can type characters that are similar to your password, but don’t type in your actual password here.
• Make sure the website uses TLS encryption (look for "https://" in the URL) to protect data transmitted between your browser and the website.
• Use password checkers of well-known security companies or organizations, because they are more likely to handle your data responsibly.

Examples of trusted password checkers from reputable sources:
