Excel Password Analyzer

Data security in an online context is an important aspect to manage these days, especially with the growing pool of threats. Ensuring that you have the best possible protection for your data is key to maintaining your desired level of privacy.

Targeting Excel format files, Excel Password Analyzer, just as its name aptly implies, is an application that was designed in order to help you assess the strength of the associated passwords for your Excel encrypted files, through a variety of procedures.

The add-in features a simple installation process, and once you have deployed it, it will be ready to use instantly, being featured in the corresponding add-in list from within your installation of Excel.

I really enjoyed the fact that after installation, when choosing to open protected Excel files, the add-in will automatically prompt you with a dedicated password analysis window. This means that you won’t have to manually initiate the process, and therefore be more efficient.

The analysis process relies on a series of tools, and you will have the option of selecting the preferred one for you. You have access to either an included dictionary or brute force attacks, with two specifications, one alpha-numerical, and one numerical.

Having initialized the analysis process, you will then be able to preview the taken steps, and the app will yield a detailed report presenting the results for the analyzed passwords, as well as their corresponding security parameters.

Excel Password Analyzer offers a simple yet capable solution for verifying the integrity and strength of the passwords associated with encrypted Excel files, and it does so in a straightforward and accessible manner.
