Show HN: Time to Hack

Most websites suck at telling you if your password is actually secure. They are still stuck in the 2000s, using outdated password rules. They check for symbols, numbers, uppercase letters—then rate Password1! as “strong”. But any real attacker cracks that in minutes.

I got tired of these outdated rules that don’t reflect actual security. So I built Time To Hack. This Chrome extension estimates how long it would actually take to crack your password (as you type), across realistic attack scenarios using entropy analysis, pattern recognition, and modern cracking models.
