## Overview

This tool focuses on passphrases used with AGEX portable file bundles. It looks at length, entropy, composition, and predictable patterns, then maps the result to an AGEX-friendly Argon2id preset recommendation.

## Inputs

- **Passphrase** (text): Enter the passphrase you plan to use for the AGEX bundle

## When to use

- Before encrypting sensitive AGEX file bundles to ensure the passphrase meets security requirements.
- When choosing between interactive, moderate, or sensitive Argon2id protection profiles for your bundle.
- To identify predictable patterns or weak entropy in a planned passphrase before deployment.

## How it works

- Input your proposed passphrase into the text field.
- The tool analyzes the passphrase's length, entropy, composition, and pattern predictability.
- It outputs a JSON result indicating the strength level and the recommended AGEX Argon2id profile.

## Use cases

- Verifying passphrase complexity before archiving confidential company data in an AGEX bundle.
- Determining the correct Argon2id resource limits (interactive vs. sensitive) for automated backups.
- Auditing user-generated passphrases to enforce organizational security policies for portable bundles.

## Frequently asked questions

### What does this tool evaluate?

It evaluates passphrase length, entropy, composition, and patterns to recommend an AGEX Argon2id profile.

### What are the recommended AGEX profiles?

The tool recommends either interactive, moderate, or sensitive profiles based on passphrase strength.

### Does this tool store my passphrase?

No, the passphrase is processed locally to evaluate strength and is not stored.

### What is Argon2id?

Argon2id is the key derivation function used by AGEX to secure file bundles against brute-force attacks.

### Can I use a weak passphrase with a sensitive profile?

It is not recommended, as a weak passphrase undermines the security provided by the sensitive Argon2id profile.

- [Security Headers Checker](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/security-headers-checker): Audit HTTP response headers for security compliance — parses the raw headers you paste (no network) and grades them against the OWASP secure-header set with value-level checks: HSTS max-age, CSP unsafe-inline/eval, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, Permissions-Policy, COOP/COEP/CORP and more. Outputs a letter grade (A+ to F) plus per-header findings with copy-ready fix recommendations.
- [URL Safety Checker](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/url-safety-checker): Detect phishing and fraud signals in a URL by deep structural analysis — punycode/IDN homograph attacks (mixed Latin/Cyrillic), embedded credentials (user:pass@host trick), high-risk TLDs, double-encoding and control-character smuggling, subdomain brand deception, and numeric/IP host obfuscation. Static analysis only, no network. Complements the URL Validator (which does basic protocol/IP checks).
- [Env File Secret Rotation Planner](https://elysiatools.com/en/tools/env-file-secret-rotation-planner): Paste a .env file and get a staged secret-rotation plan.

Optional last-rotated dates and a configurable cadence (30/90/180/365 days) drive compliance scoring.
