About Specops Password Auditor

Specops Password Auditor scans the password data in an Active Directory domain and reports accounts with weak, reused or breached passwords. Administrators can use the results to find vulnerable credentials and fix them before attackers exploit them.

The tool is free and runs on Windows. It comes from Specops Software, which also sells a paid Password Policy product that continuously blocks breached passwords, so the auditor suits a one-off or periodic check rather than ongoing enforcement.

Strengths

  • Finds weak, reused and breached passwords in Active Directory
  • Free with no paid tier needed for auditing
  • Gives administrators a clear list of accounts to fix

Limitations

  • Windows and Active Directory only
  • Reports problems but does not enforce password policy on its own
  • Closed source
