Password Security Best Practices
Learn how to create and manage secure passwords to protect your digital life
Use Unique Passwords
Never reuse passwords across multiple accounts. Each account should have its own unique, strong password.
Length Matters Most
Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack. Aim for at least 12 characters, preferably 16 or more.
Mix Character Types
Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols to increase complexity and security.
Use a Password Manager
Let a password manager generate, store, and autofill unique passwords for all your accounts.
Enable 2FA
Add two-factor authentication wherever possible for an extra layer of security beyond passwords.
Regular Updates
Change passwords if they're compromised and update them periodically, especially for critical accounts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about password security and generation
Is this password generator secure?
Yes, our generator uses cryptographically secure random number generation provided by your browser's Web Crypto API. Passwords are generated locally in your browser and are never sent to our servers.
How long should my password be?
We recommend at least 12 characters for general use, 16+ for sensitive accounts, and 20+ for high-security applications. Length is the most important factor in password strength.
Should I include symbols in my password?
Yes, including symbols increases the character set size and makes passwords harder to crack. However, length is more important than complexity - a 16-character password with only letters and numbers is stronger than an 8-character password with all character types.
How often should I change my passwords?
Change passwords immediately if they're compromised. Otherwise, focus on using unique, strong passwords rather than frequent changes. Regular updates every 6-12 months is reasonable for critical accounts.
Can I trust password managers?
Reputable password managers use strong encryption and security practices. They're much safer than reusing passwords or using weak passwords. Choose well-established providers with good security track records.
