MiscWhy a strong password matters
Weak, short, or reused passwords are one of the leading causes of account breaches. Automated brute-force attacks can test billions of combinations per second, so a password's length and character diversity directly affect how long it takes to crack.
What makes a password strong
- Length: the most important factor — each additional character exponentially increases the number of possible combinations.
- Character diversity: combining uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols greatly expands the space of possible variations.
- Randomness: true randomness (not patterns like "Password123!") makes prediction impossible.
- Uniqueness: every account should have its own separate password so a breach of one service doesn't compromise others.
How to safely store passwords
Since strong random passwords are hard to memorize, it's recommended to use a password manager — an app that stores all your passwords encrypted behind one master password. This lets you have a unique strong password for every service without trying to keep them all in your head.

FAQ
Is it safe to generate passwords online?
This generator runs entirely in the browser (client-side JavaScript) — the password is never sent to a server or stored anywhere.
What password length is considered safe?
A minimum of 12 characters is recommended for most accounts, 16+ characters for important accounts (banking, email, password manager).
Should I use the same password for multiple sites?
No, every account should have a unique password. Use a password manager so you don't have to memorize them all manually.
