Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the Password Generator
How long should my passwords be?
Minimum 12 characters for good security, 16+ for important accounts, and 20+ for highly sensitive accounts like banking. Length is more important than complexity - a 16-character password with mixed case and numbers is stronger than an 8-character password with all character types.
What makes a password secure?
Secure passwords are long, random, unique, and unpredictable. They should not contain personal information, dictionary words, or common patterns. Our generator uses cryptographically secure randomness and provides entropy calculations to show true password strength.
Should I use special characters in passwords?
Special characters can increase security, but length is more important. Some systems don't accept all special characters, so check requirements first. If typing the password frequently, consider excluding ambiguous characters like 0, O, l, I, and 1.
How often should I change my passwords?
Change passwords immediately if there's a security breach, you suspect compromise, or when leaving a job. For regular accounts, changing every 6-12 months is sufficient if you use strong, unique passwords. Frequent changes can lead to weaker passwords.
Are passphrases better than random passwords?
Passphrases using 4-6 random words can be both secure and memorable. They're excellent for master passwords or accounts you access frequently. Random passwords are better for accounts managed by password managers where memorization isn't needed.
Is this password generator safe to use?
Yes, all passwords are generated locally in your browser using cryptographically secure randomization (crypto.getRandomValues). No passwords are sent to servers, stored, or logged. Your generated passwords never leave your device.
Can I generate passwords for my team?
Yes, use the bulk generation feature to create multiple passwords at once. You can download them as a text file for distribution. However, ensure secure delivery methods and require password changes after first login for maximum security.
