Frequently Asked Questions
What is a strong password?
A strong password is long (at least 12-16 characters), uses a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and is unique for each account.
Why are strong passwords important?
Strong passwords protect your online accounts from unauthorized access, identity theft, and data breaches by making them difficult for attackers to guess or crack.
How does a password generator work?
A password generator creates random strings of characters based on user-defined criteria like length and character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols).
Are password generators safe to use?
Reputable client-side password generators are generally safe as they create passwords directly in your browser without sending data to a server. Always choose trusted tools.
What are common password mistakes to avoid?
Avoid using easily guessable information (birthdays, names), common words, sequential numbers/letters, or reusing the same password across multiple sites.
Should I use a password manager?
Yes, using a password manager is highly recommended. It securely stores all your unique, complex passwords, so you only need to remember one master password.
How often should I change my passwords?
If your passwords are strong and unique, you generally don't need to change them regularly unless you suspect a breach. Focus on strength and uniqueness first.
