Question 1

How secure are passwords generated by this tool?

Accepted Answer

Very secure. This tool uses the Web Crypto API, which provides cryptographically secure random number generation. The passwords are generated entirely in your browser and are never sent to any server. Each password is statistically unpredictable and suitable for high-security applications.

Question 2

What is the ideal password length?

Accepted Answer

For most accounts, 16 characters is recommended. For high-security accounts like banking, email, or cryptocurrency, use 20+ characters. The minimum should be 12 characters, as shorter passwords can be cracked relatively quickly with modern hardware.

Question 3

Should I include symbols in my password?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including symbols significantly increases password strength. However, some websites restrict which symbols are allowed. Common safe symbols include: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) - _ = +. This generator uses a carefully selected set of widely accepted symbols.

Question 4

How long would it take to crack a strong password?

Accepted Answer

A 16-character password using uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols has over 10^28 possible combinations. Even with powerful computers making billions of guesses per second, cracking such a password would take millions of years.

Question 5

Is it safe to use an online password generator?

Accepted Answer

It's safe if the generator works client-side (in your browser). Our tool runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript, meaning your passwords never leave your device. We don't store, transmit, or have access to any passwords you generate.

Question 6

Should I use different passwords for every account?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Using the same password across multiple sites means that if one site is breached, all your accounts become vulnerable. This is called 'credential stuffing.' Use a unique password for every account and store them in a password manager.
