Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a password strong?
A strong password is at least 12 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoiding dictionary words and personal information also increases strength.
How long should my password be?
Security experts recommend a minimum of 12–16 characters. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack, so 20+ characters is ideal for sensitive accounts.
What is the difference between a password and a passphrase?
A passphrase is a sequence of random words (e.g., "correct horse battery staple") that is long and easy to remember. Passphrases can be just as secure as complex passwords while being more user-friendly.
How are random passwords generated?
Random passwords are generated by selecting characters from a defined set (letters, digits, symbols) using a random number generator. This tool uses JavaScript's Math.random() to pick each character independently.
What are some password security tips?
Use a unique password for every account, enable two-factor authentication, and store passwords in a reputable password manager. Never share passwords via email or text.
