I do not know whether using common words or patterns makes my password unsafe.

Solved by Create a password

The Problem

This feature helps you understand whether common words, predictable patterns, or reused phrases make a password easier to guess. It highlights risky elements and guides you toward creating a stronger, more resilient password.

The Solution

This feature evaluates passwords for characteristics that attackers commonly exploit, such as dictionary words, names, keyboard patterns, repeated characters, and simple substitutions. It explains why certain choices are risky and how they reduce the effective strength of a password, even when the password appears long. When you enter or check a password, the feature flags unsafe patterns and provides actionable guidance to improve it. It can recommend using longer passphrases, adding unpredictability, and avoiding personal or widely used terms. The guidance focuses on practical changes that improve resistance to guessing and brute-force attempts. It supports use cases like setting up a new account, updating an old password, or validating that a password meets security expectations. The feature is designed to be easy to understand, using clear language instead of technical jargon where possible. It helps you make informed decisions without requiring you to be a security expert. Over time, it also builds better password habits by explaining what “common patterns” look like and how to avoid them.
