Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- What makes a password 'strong'? A strong password has three key features: length (the longer, the better), complexity (a mix of character types), and uniqueness (not reused across multiple sites).
- Is it safe to use an online password generator? Our password generator runs entirely in your browser. The generated passwords are not sent over the internet or stored anywhere, making it a secure choice.
- How should I store these complex passwords? It's highly recommended to use a reputable password manager. These applications securely store all your complex passwords and can automatically fill them in for you, so you only need to remember one master password.
