How to Create Strong Passwords (And Why Generators Help)

Weak passwords are still one of the most common causes of account breaches. Reusing "Password123" across sites means one leak can unlock everything.

What makes a password strong?

• Length — aim for at least 12–16 characters
• Randomness — avoid dictionary words and personal info
• Character variety — mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
• Uniqueness — never reuse passwords across accounts

Why use a password generator?

Humans are bad at inventing random strings. A browser-based password generator creates cryptographically strong passwords instantly, and when it runs entirely on your device, nothing is sent to a server.

Best practices

• Use a password manager to store generated passwords
• Enable two-factor authentication wherever possible
• Change passwords immediately if a service reports a breach
