Enterprise Password Policy Auditor.
Validate passwords against enterprise security policies including NIST, OWASP, and PCI standards. Check complexity, entropy, and breach exposure.
Passwords are not saved to localStorage
Enter a password to audit
Type a candidate password above to see NIST, OWASP, and PCI compliance scores. Enable breach checking to detect known compromised passwords.
How to use the Enterprise Password Policy Auditor
- Enter a password to audit in the input field.
- Toggle NIST 2024 vs Legacy NIST to compare modern length-first rules with composition requirements.
- Enable Have I Been Pwned to check breach exposure via k-anonymity (only hash prefix leaves your browser).
- Review compliance badges for NIST, OWASP, and PCI frameworks.
What is Enterprise Password Policy Auditing?
Enterprise password policies enforce security standards to protect against credential-based attacks. This auditor validates passwords against NIST SP 800-63B-4 (2024), legacy NIST composition rules, OWASP guidelines, and PCI DSS requirements. It checks length, entropy, breach exposure, and blacklisted patterns. All analysis happens in your browser — passwords are never stored locally or transmitted in plaintext.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between NIST 2024 and Legacy?+
NIST 2024 prioritizes length and breach checks over mandatory character classes. Legacy NIST follows pre-2024 composition rules requiring mixed character types.
How does the Have I Been Pwned check work?+
Your password is SHA-1 hashed locally. Only the first 5 characters of the hash are sent to the HIBP range API (k-anonymity). The full password never leaves your device.
Is my password saved?+
No. This tool explicitly disables localStorage persistence for password input.
What makes a password PCI compliant?+
PCI DSS requires 12+ characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters, plus avoidance of dictionary words.
