Password Security Scanner - Check the security/strength of your passwords on Windows
This utility scans the passwords stored by popular Windows applications (Microsoft Outlook, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, and more...) and displays security information about all these passwords. The security information of every stored password includes the total number of characters, number of numeric characters, number of lowercase/uppercase characters, number of repeating characters, and password strength. You can use this tool to determine whether the passwords used by other users are secured enough, without watching the passwords themselves.
Start Using Password Security Scanner
Password Security Scanner doesn't require any installation process or additional dll files. In order to start using it, simply run the executable file - PasswordScan.exe
After you run PasswordScan.exe, Password Security Scanner scans the passwords stored on your system, and then displays the security information of all found passwords inside the main window.
You can also go to the 'Advanced Options' window (F9) and choose to displays only insecure passwords with low number of characters or with low password strength value.
