Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. How do I generate a strong password?
Use our password generator to create a strong password instantly. Select your desired length (16+ characters recommended), enable uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols, then click Generate. The tool creates a cryptographically random password that is extremely difficult to crack.
2. What makes a password secure?
A secure password is at least 12–16 characters long and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols. Avoid using dictionary words, personal information, or sequential patterns like "123456" or "password". Our generator ensures every password meets these security criteria automatically.
3. Is this password generator safe to use?
Yes, absolutely. All passwords are generated entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. No passwords are sent to any server, stored in any database, or logged anywhere. Your generated passwords remain completely private on your device.
4. How long should my password be?
For maximum security, use at least 16 characters. Passwords with 12+ characters that include mixed character types are considered strong by most security standards. Our tool supports passwords up to 128 characters for the highest level of protection.
5. Can I customize the generated password?
Absolutely! You can adjust the password length from 4 to 128 characters, toggle uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols on or off, and exclude ambiguous characters like l, 1, I, O, 0 to improve readability.
6. Should I use a different password for every account?
Yes! Reusing passwords is one of the biggest security risks online. If one account is compromised, all accounts sharing that password become vulnerable. Use this generator to create a unique password for every account, and store them in a trusted password manager.
7. What are ambiguous characters and why exclude them?
Ambiguous characters are letters and numbers that look similar in many fonts, such as lowercase "l" and the number "1", or uppercase "O" and the number "0". Excluding them makes passwords easier to read and type manually when you cannot copy-paste.
8. How often should I change my passwords?
Security experts recommend changing passwords every 3–6 months, or immediately if you suspect a breach. Using a strong, unique password for each account is more important than frequent changes. Generate new passwords with this tool whenever you need to update your credentials.
Tips for Creating Secure Passwords
- Use 16+ characters: Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack. Every additional character multiplies the number of possible combinations.
- Mix all character types: Combine uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols for maximum entropy and protection against brute-force attacks.
- Never reuse passwords: Each account should have a unique password. Use a password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass to keep track.
- Avoid personal information: Don't use names, birthdays, phone numbers, or common words that can be guessed or found through social engineering.
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA): Even with a strong password, adding 2FA provides an extra layer of security to your accounts.
- Update passwords regularly: Change your passwords every few months, especially for critical accounts like email and banking.
