What is How Secure Is My Password??

A website that estimates the approximate strength of passwords and provides an analysis of how long it would take a computer to crack a given password. This tool is designed for testing purposes only, and users are cautioned against entering their actual passwords on the site as it could potentially record or be hijacked by a third party. Instead, users are encouraged to create a similar password that replaces each character with a corresponding symbol, number, or letter to test the strength without revealing their actual password. The website offers a valuable resource for individuals to assess the security of their potential passwords and make informed decisions about their online security
