Frequently Asked Questions
Why is a 12-character password recommended?
A 12-character password is the current sweet spot between security and memorability. It provides excellent protection against brute force attacks while still being manageable for users. When combined with a mix of character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols), a 12-character password can take centuries to crack using current technology.
How secure are the passwords generated by this tool?
The passwords created by our generator use cryptographically secure random number generation in your browser. Each character is chosen randomly from your selected character sets. With the default settings (12 characters including uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols), the passwords have high entropy and are extremely difficult to crack through brute force methods.
How should I store my passwords securely?
For best security practices:
- Use a different password for each account
- Use a reputable password manager to store your passwords
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) whenever possible
- Change important passwords periodically
- Never share your passwords or write them down in plain text
