Frequently Asked Questions
How secure are the passwords generated by SecurePass Generator?
Our password generator creates cryptographically strong random passwords using JavaScript's built-in random number generator. The passwords are generated locally in your browser and are not stored or transmitted anywhere. The strength of your password depends on the length and character variety you choose - longer passwords with a mix of character types are more secure.
Where is my generated password stored?
Your generated password is never stored on our servers or any external storage. It exists only temporarily in your browser's memory while you're using the tool. Once you close or refresh the page, the password is no longer available unless you've saved it elsewhere.
What's the recommended password length?
For most online accounts, we recommend a password length of at least 12 characters. For highly sensitive accounts (banking, email, etc.), we suggest using 16+ characters with a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Can I use the same password for multiple accounts?
No, we strongly recommend using a unique password for each online account. If one account is compromised, using the same password elsewhere would put those accounts at risk. Consider using a reputable password manager to securely store and manage your different passwords.
Is SecurePass Generator free to use?
Yes, SecurePass Generator is completely free to use with no hidden charges, subscription fees, or usage limits. We fund the service through non-intrusive advertisements.
Can I use SecurePass Generator offline?
Yes, once the page has loaded in your browser, you can use SecurePass Generator without an internet connection. All password generation happens locally in your browser, not on our servers.
How often should I change my passwords?
Security experts generally recommend changing your passwords every 90 days for important accounts. However, if you suspect a breach or receive a security alert, you should change your password immediately.
What makes a password strong?
A strong password is long (12+ characters), includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and doesn't contain easily guessable information like names, birthdays, or common words. Our generator helps create such passwords by default.
