What makes a password strong?
Length matters most. Each extra character multiplies the number of possible combinations. A random 16-character password using all character types is considered very strong today.
Use a unique password for every service and keep them in a password manager. That way a data breach at one provider stays limited to that provider.
Frequently asked questions
Is my password stored anywhere?
No. The password is generated with your browser's Web Crypto API and is never transmitted or stored.
How long should a password be?
At least 12, ideally 16 characters or more. For a password manager's master password, long passphrases work well too.
What does “Avoid ambiguous characters” mean?
Characters like l, 1, I, O and 0 look alike. Leaving them out makes a password easier to type.
