Why use a password generator?
Humans follow predictable patterns — capital first letter, number at the end, dictionary words. Password generators eliminate these weaknesses by producing truly random strings. This tool uses the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues()) for cryptographic randomness — the same standard used by banking applications.
What makes a strong password?
- Length matters most — 16+ characters is recommended for important accounts
- Mix character types — uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols combined
- Unique per account — never reuse passwords across sites
- Use a password manager — Bitwarden (free), 1Password, or Apple Keychain
