Question 1

Is this password generator safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All passwords are generated entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API's crypto.getRandomValues() function — the same cryptographic standard used by operating systems and browsers. No password is ever sent to a server, logged, or stored anywhere outside your device.

Question 2

What makes a password strong?

Accepted Answer

A strong password combines length (16+ characters), a large character set (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), and true randomness. Avoid dictionary words, personal information, and patterns. A 16-character password using all character sets has over 100 bits of entropy — effectively impossible to brute-force.

Question 3

What length should I use for passwords?

Accepted Answer

For most accounts, 16 characters is a good baseline. For high-value accounts (banking, email, password manager master password), use 24 or 32 characters. For API keys and secrets, 32–64 characters is recommended.

Question 4

What does 'exclude ambiguous characters' mean?

Accepted Answer

Ambiguous characters like 0 (zero) and O (letter O), or l (lowercase L), 1 (one), and I (uppercase i) look similar in many fonts and can cause confusion when reading a password aloud or typing it manually. Enabling this option removes those characters from the pool.

Question 5

What is password entropy?

Accepted Answer

Entropy measures how unpredictable a password is, expressed in bits. A password with N bits of entropy would require on average 2^(N-1) guesses to crack. 50 bits is weak against modern hardware, 70+ bits is strong, and 100+ bits is considered very strong for any practical attack.
