Frequently Asked Questions
How long should my password be?
For strong security, use at least 12-16 characters. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack. A 16-character password with mixed character types can take billions of years to crack with current technology, while an 8-character password might be cracked in hours.
Are random password generators safe to use?
Yes, our password generator runs entirely in your browser - the passwords are never sent to any server. This makes it completely safe and private. The passwords are generated using cryptographically secure random number generation.
What makes a password strong?
A strong password has at least 12 characters and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. Avoid dictionary words, personal information (birthdays, names), and common patterns like '123456' or 'password'.
Should I use a password manager?
Absolutely. Password managers like 1Password, Bitwarden, or LastPass securely store all your passwords so you only need to remember one master password. This allows you to use unique, complex passwords for every account without having to memorize them.
How often should I change my passwords?
Security experts now recommend changing passwords only when there is a security breach or when you suspect your password may have been compromised. Using unique, strong passwords for each account is more important than changing them frequently.
