Frequently Asked Questions
How secure are the passwords generated by this tool?
The passwords are generated using cryptographically secure random number generation, making them extremely secure. The tool uses your browser's built-in crypto.getRandomValues() function, which provides true randomness suitable for security purposes.
Are my generated passwords stored or transmitted anywhere?
No, absolutely not. All password generation happens entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No passwords are ever sent to our servers, stored in databases, or transmitted over the internet. Your passwords remain completely private.
What makes a password strong and secure?
A strong password typically has: 12+ characters, a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, special symbols, no personal information, and no dictionary words. Our generator ensures all these criteria are met when you select the appropriate options.
How long should my password be?
For general accounts, 12-16 characters provide excellent security. For high-security accounts (banking, email), consider 16+ characters. For basic accounts, 8-12 characters may suffice. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack.
Can I exclude similar-looking characters from my password?
Currently, the tool includes all standard characters. However, you can manually regenerate passwords if you want to avoid characters like 1, l, I, 0, O that might be confused when typing. We recommend keeping all characters for maximum security.
Should I include special symbols in my passwords?
Yes, including special symbols significantly increases password strength by expanding the character set. This makes passwords exponentially harder to crack. Most modern systems accept special characters, but check specific requirements for your target system.
How often should I generate new passwords?
Generate new passwords when: creating new accounts, after security breaches, every 3-6 months for important accounts, when sharing access with others, or if you suspect your password may be compromised.
Can I use this tool for generating passwords for password managers?
Absolutely! This tool is perfect for generating strong master passwords for password managers. Use maximum length (16+ characters) with all character types enabled for the highest security.
What if I need to type the password frequently?
For passwords you'll type often, consider slightly shorter lengths (12-14 characters) and ensure special symbols are compatible with your devices. However, copying and pasting is more secure and convenient than typing.
Is it safe to use this tool on public computers?
While the tool itself doesn't store passwords, avoid using public computers for generating important passwords. Public computers may have keyloggers or malware. Use your personal device whenever possible for security-critical tasks.
Can I generate multiple passwords at once?
The current tool generates one password at a time, but you can quickly regenerate new passwords by clicking the "Regenerate" button. Each click creates a completely new, secure password with your selected options.
Why do I need different passwords for different accounts?
Using unique passwords prevents a domino effect if one account is breached. If hackers gain access to one password, they can't access your other accounts. This is fundamental to good cybersecurity hygiene.
