Secure Password Generator

This password generator creates cryptographically strong passwords using a combination of character sets you select. The generated passwords are completely random and not based on any dictionary words or personal information.

How Password Strength is Calculated

Password strength is determined by several factors:

• Length: Longer passwords are exponentially more secure
• Complexity: Using multiple character types increases security
• Randomness: Truly random passwords are more secure than patterns
• Uniqueness: Avoid reusing passwords across multiple accounts

Password Strength Categories

We evaluate passwords based on the following criteria:

Strength	Entropy (bits)	Time to Crack	Recommendation
Weak	< 64 bits	Seconds to minutes	Not recommended
Medium	64-80 bits	Days to months	Acceptable for low-risk accounts
Strong	80-100 bits	Years to decades	Good for most accounts
Very Strong	> 100 bits	Centuries to millennia	Ideal for high-security accounts

Best Practices for Password Security

To maximize your online security:

• Use at least 12 characters for important accounts
• Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols
• Avoid common words, phrases, or personal information
• Never reuse passwords across multiple sites
• Change passwords immediately after a security breach
• Use two-factor authentication whenever possible
• Consider using a reputable password manager

Remember that even the strongest password can be compromised if you fall victim to phishing or if the service provider suffers a security breach. Always remain vigilant and monitor your accounts for suspicious activity.
