Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • !Reusing the same password across multiple sites - if one site is breached, every account with that password is compromised
  • !Storing the generated password in a plain text file or note - use a password manager
  • !Choosing a short password to make it easier to type - use a password manager to avoid having to type passwords at all

Limitations

  • This tool generates passwords but cannot store them. Use a password manager like 1Password, Bitwarden, or Apple Keychain to save generated passwords securely.
  • The tool does not check whether the generated password meets specific site requirements (such as maximum length or character restrictions)

Privacy

Passwords are generated using the Web Crypto API directly in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server. The password is never transmitted, logged, or stored anywhere outside your device.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a password strong?

A strong password is at least 12 characters long with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.

Is the password sent to a server?

No. Passwords are generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is transmitted.

How random are the generated passwords?

Passwords are generated using the Web Crypto API, which provides cryptographically secure random values. This is the same standard used by security software and password managers. The randomness is not predictable.

What length should I use for a strong password?

At least 16 characters for any account you care about. Length is the single biggest factor in password strength. A 16-character random password with mixed characters has more possible combinations than any realistic brute-force attack can handle.

Should I use special characters in passwords?

Including symbols increases the character set size and makes the password harder to crack, but length matters more. A 20-character password with only letters is stronger than a 10-character password with all character types.

Can I trust a browser-based password generator?

Yes, if it uses the Web Crypto API. This tool generates passwords entirely in your browser using secure randomness. The passwords are never transmitted anywhere. Nothing is logged or stored.
