Password Generator
Generate secure random passwords
1. What is a Password Generator?
A password generator is a tool that creates random, secure passwords using a combination of character types (lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols). It helps users create strong, unpredictable passwords that are resistant to brute-force attacks and common password-guessing techniques.
2. How does it work?
Generation Process
The generator creates passwords by randomly selecting characters from a pool of available character types you choose. For each position in the password, it uses cryptographic random number generation to pick a character, ensuring the password is truly random and unpredictable.
Password Security
Strong passwords should be long (at least 12-16 characters), include a mix of character types, and be unique for each service. Never reuse passwords across different accounts.
Best Practices
- Use a password manager to store passwords securely
- Enable two-factor authentication when available
- Never share passwords via email or messaging
- Change passwords if a service reports a breach
