CHOOSE YOUR PASSWORD

This is a game — please don't type a password you actually use.

TRY:

EQUIP YOUR SHIELDS

ALWAYS ON

SOMETHING
YOU KNOW

Your password. Every account starts here — and so does every attacker.

OFF

SOMETHING
YOU HAVE

A phone or key the hacker would also need to hold in their hand.

CHOOSE THE HACKER'S LEVEL

The same password can be safe in one situation and useless in another. What changes is how many guesses per second the hacker gets. If a website is hacked and its password file is stolen, the hacker copies it onto their own computer — and can then guess billions of times a second with nobody there to stop them.
