How long should a password be?
Minimum 12 characters for important accounts. 16+ characters is recommended. Each additional character exponentially increases crack time. Length is the single most important factor in password strength.

Helpful questions
Are these passwords stored anywhere?
No. Passwords are generated entirely in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing is sent to any server. The password exists only on your screen until you copy it.
Should I use special characters?
Yes, when allowed. Special characters significantly increase password complexity. A 12-character password with mixed cases, numbers, and symbols is far stronger than a 12-character lowercase-only password.
How often should I change passwords?
Modern security guidance recommends changing passwords only when there's evidence of compromise, not on a fixed schedule. Use unique passwords for each account and enable two-factor authentication.
