Probably. The worst for me are still the "test your password strength" websites though. So painful to explain to end users why it's NOT a good idea to use this.

The good ones calculate pw Strength client-side, so there is nothing to worry about there. Problem, most people don’t know what the good ones are nor how to find them.

Bit warden has a good pw entropy checker.

I've spent a few years working in the information security space, and I'm quite certain that I wouldn't know which ones are "the good ones" and which ones aren't.
