Password Security

Strong passwords are essential for protecting your online accounts from unauthorized access.

Randomly generated passwords are significantly more secure than ones created by humans.

Password Managers

Consider using a password manager to securely store and manage all your passwords.

About Password Security

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.
