"Your password stays on your device. Only an unrecognizable code fragment is sent to check if this password has appeared in any known data breach — nothing that could identify your password ever leaves this page."

"Sends only a 5-character anonymized hash fragment to HaveIBeenPwned.com — your password never leaves this page. How it works"

"Password rules that say “must contain uppercase, a number, and a symbol” came from 2003 guidance that has since been officially reversed by the U.S. government’s cybersecurity agency. The new consensus is simpler: length matters most. Every character you add doesn’t just increase combinations a little — it multiplies them. A 20-character phrase of common words is significantly stronger than an 8-character “P@ssw0rd” with all the boxes checked."

"Password entropy is H = L × log₂(N), where L is length and N is charset size. NIST SP 800-63B (2017, revised 2023) explicitly removed mandatory complexity rules, instead recommending ≥8 characters minimum with ≥15 preferred. Adding one character to a 95-character-set password multiplies the search space by 95 (≈6.6 bits). Upgrading from 3-of-4 character types to 4-of-4 adds a fixed bonus — less entropy than a single extra character at lengths above 8."
