What Makes a Password Strong?
A strong password is your first line of defense against unauthorized access to your accounts. The strength of a password is determined by its length, complexity, and unpredictability (entropy).
- Length: The longer a password is, the more time it would take for a brute-force attack to crack it. We recommend a minimum of 16 characters for important accounts.
- Complexity: Using a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols dramatically increases the number of possible combinations, making the password harder to guess.
- Unpredictability: Avoid using common words, phrases, or personal information (like birthdays or names). Truly random passwords generated by a tool like this are far more secure.
How Our Password Generator Works
This tool generates passwords directly in your web browser using the `crypto.getRandomValues()` function, which is a cryptographically secure random number generator. This means:
- Your password is never sent to our server. The entire process happens on your computer, ensuring your privacy and security.
- The generated passwords are truly random and not based on any predictable patterns.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Yes, as long as the generator operates client-side (in your browser) like ours does. This ensures the generated password is only visible to you and is never transmitted over the internet. Be cautious of generators that might send data to their servers.
