Assess Your Password Strength Effectively
Time to Hack is a Chrome extension designed to provide real-time estimates of how long it would take to crack a password based on realistic attack scenarios. Unlike traditional password strength checkers, it utilizes modern cracking models and entropy analysis to offer insights into the actual security of passwords. As you type, the extension evaluates your password against common patterns from breached passwords, highlighting weaknesses and offering suggestions for improvement.
The extension operates by detecting patterns, calculating effective entropy, and simulating various attack models. It presents crack time estimates in seconds, days, or even centuries, allowing users to understand the risks associated with their chosen passwords. By focusing on real-world attack simulations rather than outdated rules, Time to Hack enables users to create more secure passwords tailored to contemporary security threats.
