Check Password Strength in Google Sheets & Excel — =VERVE("passwordstrength", "Password123")

What this pulls

Score passwords by the row. =VERVE("passwordstrength", A2) rates the strength of each password — Google Sheets or Excel.

It's one of 250+ live sources you reach with a single =VERVE() function — served from APIVerve's production data engine, billed at 1 credit per resolved cell, and refreshed on whatever cadence you set. No API keys to wrangle, no scripts, no exports.

Ways to use it

Validate a list before you use it

Run =VERVE("passwordstrength", "Password123") down a column of inputs and let each row tell you whether it's real and safe — catch the bad ones before they hit your workflow.

Score a lead or signup sheet

Add a validity column beside your contacts so you can filter, sort, or conditionally format the rows worth keeping.

Guardrail with IF

Wrap =VERVE("passwordstrength", "Password123") in an IF and flag anything that fails, turning a raw import into a checked, trustworthy sheet.

Use it in your sheet

The same function works in both apps — install once, sign in with your key, and type it into any cell.

Google SheetsAdd-on

Install from the Workspace Marketplace, then drop the formula into a cell. Autocomplete suggests the source and its fields.

=VERVE("passwordstrength", "Password123")

Microsoft ExcelAdd-in

Same source, same arguments, same key — in Excel on desktop, the web, or mobile. Excel namespaces it as VERVE.CALL. Drag to fill a whole column.

=VERVE.CALL("passwordstrength", "Password123")

Fields you can pull

Add a field name as the last argument to land just that value in the cell.

Premium marks data included on paid plans. On the Free plan a marked field is withheld and a marked input is ignored — either way the cell reads #PREMIUM(name) instead of a value, so a gated answer can never be mistaken for a real one. Everything unmarked works on every plan. Compare plans

Everything you need to wire it into a sheet.

How do I pull Check Password Strength into a spreadsheet?

Install the VerveSheets add-on, sign in with your key, and type =VERVE("passwordstrength", "Password123") into any cell. The same function works in Google Sheets and Excel — no scripts, no API wiring.

How many credits does each Check Password Strength cell cost?

Each resolved cell costs 1 credit. Filling a column of ten rows costs ten times that; a cell only re-bills when it actually refreshes, so a static sheet doesn't keep charging.

Can I fill a whole column at once?

Yes. Reference a range instead of a single cell — e.g. point Check Password Strength at A2:A50 — and it returns a value for every row in one call, or just drag =VERVE("passwordstrength", "Password123") down like any spreadsheet function.

Does Check Password Strength work in Excel as well as Google Sheets?

Yes. It's the same =VERVE() function with the same arguments and the same key in both — build a sheet in one and it behaves identically in the other.

How current is the data?

Check Password Strength is served live from APIVerve's production data engine, and cells recalculate on the refresh cadence you choose — every open, hourly, or every 30 minutes.

Where does the data come from, and what shows on my bill?

VerveSheets runs on APIVerve, our production data engine; Check Password Strength is one of 300+ sources on the same key. Invoices and card statements show APIVERVE.
