Yes. Passwords are generated locally in your browser using cryptographically secure randomness. Nothing is transmitted to a server or stored anywhere.
A strong password is long, random, and uses a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Length matters more than complexity for resisting brute-force attacks.
Security experts generally recommend at least 12 to 16 characters. Longer passwords of 20 characters or more provide even stronger protection against modern cracking techniques.
No. Reusing passwords means that if one account is breached, attackers can access all your other accounts using the same credentials. Use a unique password for every account.
A password manager makes it practical to use long, unique, random passwords for every account without having to memorize them, and is highly recommended alongside this generator.
