How to create secure passwords

1. Prefer length and randomness

Longer passwords resist guessing and brute force. Aim for at least 14 characters for important accounts, or six or more random words for a passphrase.

2. Use unique passwords everywhere

Reusing one password means a breach on any site can unlock others. Generate a fresh secret for each login and store them in a password manager.

3. Mix character types when required

Some sites demand uppercase, lowercase, numbers, or symbols. Use the Password tab presets or tune checkboxes — our generator enforces your rules while staying random.

4. Check strength, not complexity theater

5. Generate in the browser

Open the generator — secrets are created on your device, not on a remote API. Copy once and clear the field if you are on a shared computer.
