NAME
password-strength — measures password strength with a zxcvbn-style score and optional hibp breach lookup
SYNOPSIS
POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/password-strength
     Content-Type: application/json
     X-PAYMENT:    <signed-transferWithAuthorization>

     { ... }
↳ first call → 402 Payment Required. Sign USDCtransferWithAuthorization, retry with theX-PAYMENT header.
DESCRIPTION

Measures password strength with a zxcvbn-style score and optional HIBP breach lookup. Returns a 0-100 score and weak/fair/good/strong/excellent bucket, Shannon entropy bits, charset size, character-class breakdown (lower/upper/numbers/symbols), common-pattern detection (sequences, keyboard walks, repeats, dictionary words), and crack-time estimates across throttled/unthrottled/offline-slow/offline-fast attacker models. The optional Have-I-Been-Pwned check uses k-anonymity: only the first 5 chars of the SHA-1 hash leave the worker. Use it as a password strength meter, password checker, password entropy calculator, pwned password check, or password validator.

INPUT — request schema
propertytypedescriptionreq?
passwordstringPassword to score. Sent over TLS to the worker but never logged. Max 200 chars.required
check_breachesbooleanIf true (default), also performs a HIBP k-anonymity lookup and returns breach_count + is_breached. Set false to skip the network call for fully offline scoring.optional
OUTPUT — response shape
fieldtypedescription
scorenumberOverall password strength score, typically 0-100 combining entropy, length, and pattern penalties.
bucketstringStrength label like very-weak, weak, fair, strong, or very-strong derived from the score.
lengthnumberCharacter count of the submitted password.
entropy_bitsnumberShannon entropy estimate in bits based on charset size and length.
charset_sizenumberSize of the effective character pool used for entropy math (e.g., 26, 62, 95).
character_classesobjectPer-class flags showing which sets appear: lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols.
character_class_countnumberNumber of distinct character classes present (0-4).
common_patterns_foundarrayList of detected weak patterns like dictionary words, sequences, keyboard walks, or dates.
estimated_crack_timeobjectCrack-time estimates for online, offline, and GPU attack scenarios as human-readable durations.
breach_countnumberNumber of times the password appears in the Have I Been Pwned corpus.
is_breachedbooleanTrue when breach_count is greater than zero in the HIBP dataset.
breach_check_performedbooleanTrue when the HIBP k-anonymity lookup ran successfully for this request.
feedbackarrayActionable suggestions to strengthen the password, such as add length or mix character classes.
notestringServer-side note about scoring caveats, HIBP fallback, or privacy guarantee that the password never leaves.
EXAMPLES — two ways to call
EXAMPLE 1 · curl
curl -X POST https://x402.agentutility.ai/password-strength \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -d '{ }'
first response = 402 Payment Required with payment requirements; sign + retry with X-PAYMENT.
EXAMPLE 2 · mcp
# Install the MCP package for this endpoint's cluster
npx -y @agentutility/mcp-<cluster>

# Required: EVM private key with USDC on Base
export X402_PRIVATE_KEY=0x...

# Then call the password-strength tool from your MCP-aware agent.
MCP server handles payment automatically — your coding agent just calls the tool by name.
