Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a password strong and secure?
A strong password should be at least 12 characters long, include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. It should be unique for each account and avoid personal information or common words. Our generator creates cryptographically secure random passwords meeting these criteria.
How long should my password be for maximum security?
We recommend at least 12-16 characters for most accounts. For high-security applications like banking or business systems, consider 20+ characters. Longer passwords exponentially increase security against brute-force attacks. Our generator supports up to 128 characters.
Should I exclude similar-looking characters from passwords?
Excluding similar characters (like i, l, 1, L, o, 0, O) can reduce confusion when typing passwords manually, especially for passwords you need to share or type frequently. However, it slightly reduces password entropy. For maximum security, include all character types.
Is it safe to use online password generators?
Our password generator runs entirely in your browser using cryptographically secure random number generation. No passwords are sent to servers or stored anywhere. For maximum security, you can also run the generator offline or use a trusted password manager's built-in generator.
How often should I change my passwords?
Change passwords immediately if there's a security breach, you suspect compromise, or when leaving shared accounts. For regular accounts, focus on using unique, strong passwords rather than frequent changes. Password managers make it easy to use different strong passwords for every account.
