Frequently Asked Questions
How secure are the generated passwords?
Our tool generates cryptographically secure random passwords using your browser's built-in crypto.getRandomValues() function. Passwords are never transmitted to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
What makes a password strong?
Strong passwords are long (12+ characters), include mixed case letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid dictionary words or personal information. The strength meter evaluates these factors in real-time.
Should I memorize generated passwords?
It's not recommended to memorize complex passwords. Instead, use a password manager to securely store and autofill your passwords. This allows you to use unique, complex passwords for every account.
How often should I change passwords?
Change passwords periodically (every 3-6 months) and immediately if a service reports a security breach. For critical accounts like email and banking, consider more frequent updates.
