1. How we handle security
This password generator runs 100% in your browser (client side). Generated passwords are never sent to any external server or stored in any database.
It uses the browser's built-in cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generatorcrypto.getRandomValuesto provide strong randomness suitable for secure password generation.
2. What makes a strong password?
To create a strong password, the following factors are critical:
- Length: Use at least 12 characters, and preferably 16 or more for high-value accounts.
