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.
