Check in dictionaries

This check requires Internet connection and might be slow, especially, when you choose many languages. Caution! Your password will be sent to wiktionary.org!

The password check will be better, if you use dictionary checking!

Choose dictionaries (keep Ctrl pressed while selecting):

Time delay (in ms) between character input and complete password check:

Most tests on your input will be done in real time and you get the overall strength at once. However, a detailed list of errors and an online dictionary check can take more time and can interfere your typing. For this reason, the complete check will be started after the given time delay. Change this value, if you feel that the widget works slowly.
