A command line tool that evaluates password safety by analyzing entropy, character variety, and known password lists.
🔒command line tool checking password safety🔒
pwdsafety is designed for users and security professionals who want to quickly assess the strength of passwords via the command line. It helps ensure passwords meet basic security criteria and provides feedback or generates stronger passwords when needed.
This tool does not store any password information, ensuring privacy. Users are advised never to use personal information in passwords and to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible. It is recommended to use a password manager like Bitwarden alongside this tool for better password management.
