bfc-cli is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that calculates the amount of time a computer would need to brute-force a given string. Brute-force is a method of trying all possible combinations of characters until the correct one is found. bfc-cli can help you estimate how secure your passwords are against brute-force attacks.
To use bfc-cli, you need to have Node.js installed on your computer. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that allows you to run JavaScript code outside of a web browser. You can download Node.js from https://nodejs.org/en/.
