Password Generator

Why Use a Password Generator?

Human-generated passwords are often predictable. We tend to use birthdays, pet names, or simple keyboard patterns like "123456". Hackers use sophisticated dictionary attacks and brute-force methods that can crack these passwords in seconds.

A password generator creates completely random strings of characters based on mathematical entropy. This ensures that there is no logical pattern, making the password computationally expensive to guess or crack.

Tips for Creating Strong Passwords

Even with a generator, it is important to follow best practices to ensure your accounts remain secure.

• Length Matters: Every additional character exponentially increases the time required to crack a password. We recommend a minimum of 12 characters.
• Mix Character Types: Always use a combination of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special symbols.
• Avoid Personal Info: Never include your name, birthdate, or address in your password.
• Unique for Every Account: Never reuse the same password for multiple sites. If one site is breached, all your accounts are at risk.
• Use a Password Manager: Since strong passwords are hard to remember, use a trusted password manager to store them securely.

Understanding Entropy and Strength

Password strength is often measured in bits of entropy. This is a measure of randomness.

A password with low entropy (e.g., "apple") can be cracked instantly. A password with high entropy (e.g., "Tr7#bP9!xLq2") could take billions of years to crack using current technology. Our generator calculates this strength dynamically based on the length and variety of characters you select.
