Weak passwords can make it easy for hackers to access your accounts or steal personal info. With Trend Micro ID Protection, you can check how strong your passwords are and improve them in just a few steps.

Why It Matters

If a password is reused or easy to guess, it can put your data and finances at risk. ID Protection helps you spot weak or reused passwords and replace them with stronger ones.

Here's how ID Protection shows weak or strong your password is:

  • A colored bar and label (like Weak, Good, or Strong) show your password strength.
  • Time to crack? — Estimates how long it would take hackers to guess your password.
  • Compromised? — Warns you if your password has appeared in known data breaches.
  • Reused? — Checks if you’ve already used the same password you saved.
Quick Tip: ID Protection automatically checks your passwords and rates them as Weak, Good, or Strong.
