About this tool
Password Policy Tester
Check a password against typical banking, corporate, government and school portal rules before you submit it.
Test a password against the rules a banking, corporate, government or school portal is likely to enforce, and see which rule fails before the site rejects it. This page brings together 4 separate password policy tester pages (Banking, Corporate, Government portal, School portal) so you can compare them without hunting for the right one.

Why use Password Policy Tester
All 4 in one place
Banking, Corporate, Government portal and the rest sit behind one picker, so switching portal type takes a tap instead of a new search.
Built for each option
Every portal type keeps its own rules, numbers and defaults rather than one generic template.
Shareable view
The link remembers the portal type you picked, so a bookmark or a shared link opens straight on it.
Common use cases
- Work out why the net-banking form keeps rejecting a password without telling you which rule failed.

- Find out which rule a tax or provident-fund portal is rejecting when the error message just says the password is invalid.

What are the password rules for net banking in India?
Most retail banks require 8 to 20 characters with at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit and one special character from a short accepted list such as ! @ # $ % ^ & *. Spaces are rejected, the password cannot contain your user ID, and a change is usually forced roughly every 180 days. The exact window differs by bank, so check the rule text shown on your own login page.
What are the Active Directory password complexity requirements?
The password must not contain the account's sAMAccountName, must not contain any token of the display name longer than two characters, and must contain characters from at least three of five categories: uppercase A-Z, lowercase a-z, digits 0-9, non-alphanumeric characters, and Unicode letters that have no upper or lower case. Windows checks this when the password is set, before any strength scoring.
What are the password requirements for Indian government portals?
The common profile is 8 to 14 characters containing at least one uppercase letter, one lowercase letter, one digit and one special character from a restricted list such as @ # $ % & * !, with no spaces. Most also block the login ID inside the password and prompt a change roughly every 90 days. Individual portals vary, so read the rule text printed beside the password box.
How long should a school password be?
At least 8 characters, which is the minimum NIST SP 800-63B sets for a password a person chooses, and 14 or more if you can. Length helps far more than adding symbols: four ordinary words joined with hyphens is longer, easier to remember, and harder to guess than one word with a number stuck on the end.
