- How secure is this password generator?
- This generator uses the browser's built-in Web Crypto API (window.crypto.getRandomValues), which is a cryptographically secure random number generator. It is significantly more secure than Math.random().
- Are generated passwords stored anywhere?
- No. Passwords are generated locally in your browser and never sent to any server. Once you close the tab, the password is gone.
- What is a strong password?
- A strong password is at least 16 characters long, includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and does not use real words, names, or personal information.
- How long should my password be?
- At minimum 12 characters for most accounts. For important accounts like banking or email, use 20+ characters. Longer is always better — length is the single biggest factor in password security.
- Should I use a password manager?
- Yes. A password manager (like Bitwarden, 1Password, or Dashlane) lets you generate and store a unique, strong password for every account. This is the single most effective thing you can do for your online security.
