Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Password Generator work?

It uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to pick characters from defined sets (letters, numbers, symbols) and assembles them into a string of your chosen length.

What is a 'Secure' password length today?

For critical accounts (email, banking), 16 characters is the modern standard. For less critical sites, 12 characters is generally acceptable.

Does the generator store my passwords?

Never. All generation happens locally in your browser's RAM. Your password never touches our disk or database.

Why should I avoid using my name or birthday?

These are 'known' pieces of information. Hackers use 'Dictionary Attacks' and 'Social Engineering' to guess passwords based on your personal life.

What are 'Ambiguous Characters'?

Characters like `i, l, 1, L` or `o, 0, O` can look identical in some fonts. Our tool has an option to exclude these to make your password easier to read and type.

Should I use a different password for every site?

Yes. This is the most important rule. If one site is breached, your other accounts will remain safe if they have unique passwords.

How can I remember so many unique passwords?

We recommend using a reputable 'Password Manager' (like Bitwarden or 1Password). You only need to remember one master password, and it handles the rest.

Can I generate a password for my WiFi?

Yes. WiFi passwords often benefit from being 'Pronounceable' so you can tell them to guests without spelling out every symbol.

Does the tool support customized symbol sets?

Yes. You can check/uncheck different categories (Uppercase, Lowercase, Numbers, Symbols) to meet specific website password policies.

Is it okay to write passwords in a physical notebook?

Believe it or not, yes. A physical notebook in a locked drawer is often safer from global hackers than a simple file on your desktop.
