What makes a strong password?

A strong password is your first line of defense against hackers. Here are the key factors:

  • Length: This is the most important factor. Every extra character exponentially increases the time required to crack a password. Aim for at least 12-16 characters.
  • Complexity: Using a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols increases the "pool" of possible characters, making brute-force attacks much harder.
  • Randomness: Humans are bad at being random (we use names, dates, patterns like "123"). A computer-generated string is unpredictable.

Password Security Tips

  • Use a different password for every account.
  • Use a Password Manager to store your long, complex passwords.
  • Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA) whenever possible.
  • Avoid using personal information (birthdays, pet names) in passwords.

? Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. The password is generated locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API. It is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.

For critical accounts (email, banking), we recommend at least 16 characters. For general sites, 12 characters is a good minimum standard.

While length is more important, symbols add complexity. Some websites require them, but a very long phrase of just letters can also be very secure due to high entropy.
