What is entropy?
Entropy measures unpredictability in bits. A password with N characters from a charset of size C has log2(C^N) bits of entropy. 40 bits is weak; 60 bits is moderate; 80+ bits resists offline brute force on modern hardware. Crack time estimates assume 10 billion guesses per second.
Common uses
- Password design — verify a password has enough entropy.
- Token review — confirm random tokens are unguessable.
- Education — visualize how charset and length combine.
- Compliance — meet entropy minimums for security policies.
