Frequently asked questions

How long should a password be?

At least 16 characters for accounts and 24 or more for things like database passwords and secrets. Length adds more strength than symbols do.

Is it really random?

Yes. It uses crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure generator, with unbiased selection.

Where should I keep passwords?

In a password manager. Never reuse a password across sites.
