About EveryPasswordSucks
Our Mission
We built EveryPasswordSucks to help people understand just how vulnerable their passwords really are. Most people use weak, predictable passwords without realizing how quickly hackers can crack them.
This free tool demonstrates in real-time how various attack methods could compromise your password, helping you make better security decisions.
How It Works
Our tool uses the industry-standard zxcvbn library developed by Dropbox to analyze password strength. All analysis happens entirely in your browser - your password never leaves your device and is never sent to any server.
The "cracking" animation simulates four common attack methods that hackers use:
- Brute Force: Systematically trying every possible combination
- Dictionary Attack: Testing common words and phrases
- Pattern Recognition: Exploiting predictable patterns like "qwerty" or "123456"
- Breach Database: Using passwords leaked in previous data breaches
Privacy & Security
Your privacy is paramount. This tool is built with privacy-first principles:
- All password analysis happens locally in your browser using JavaScript
- Your password is never transmitted over the internet
- We don't store, log, or have any access to the passwords you test
- No cookies or tracking beyond basic analytics (page views, not passwords)
Why Password Managers?
We recommend password managers because they solve the fundamental problem: humans are terrible at creating and remembering strong, unique passwords for dozens of accounts.
Password managers generate truly random, strong passwords and store them securely with military-grade encryption. You only need to remember one master password.
The password managers we feature (1Password, LastPass, Dashlane) are industry leaders trusted by millions of users and security professionals worldwide.
