Frequently asked questions
Should I test my real password here?
It is safer to test a similar example rather than a password you actually use. Never type live passwords into websites you do not fully trust.
Is a high score a guarantee?
No. A password that appears in a breach list is unsafe however it scores. Use a unique password for every site and turn on two-factor authentication.
