Question 1

Is my password stored or sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. Passwords are generated entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is ever transmitted to any server or stored anywhere. Your password exists only on your device.

Question 2

How random is the password?

Accepted Answer

Passwords are generated using crypto.getRandomValues — the same cryptographic randomness standard used in banking and security software. It is not guessable or predictable.

Question 3

How long should my password be?

Accepted Answer

Security experts recommend at least 16 characters for general accounts and 20 or more for high-value accounts such as banking or email. Length has more impact on security than complexity alone.

Question 4

Should I include symbols in my password?

Accepted Answer

Symbols increase the character set and add meaningful entropy. However, some websites restrict certain symbols. If in doubt, generate a password with symbols and test it before saving.

Question 5

How many possible combinations does a 16-character password have?

Accepted Answer

A 16-character password using all character types (upper, lower, numbers, symbols) has over 10²⁹ possible combinations — more than the estimated number of atoms in the solar system.
