Password Lense Demo

What is this?

Certain characters in passwords ('O' and '0', 'I' and 'l', etc.) can be hard to identify when you need to type them in (and copy-paste is unavailable). Password Lense is a small web application that provides a quick and secure way to get a more informative view of your password.

Features

  • Color codes each character in your password with a corresponding legend/key
  • Hover-based tooltip on each character in case the colors are not enough
  • Accessible color palette
  • Light and dark modes
  • Monospace font for easy character identification
  • Core functionality works even when offline
  • Secure (your password never leaves your browser)
  • Pressing ESC clears the password (in case someone walks in unexpectedly)
  • Checks your password against those available in publicly disclosed data breaches (requires Internet connectivity)
  • Automatically checks for updates (requires Internet connectivity)

Why?

Because a co-worker asked for it.
