Question 1

How secure are the generated passwords?

Accepted Answer

All passwords are generated locally in your browser using cryptographically secure random numbers. Nothing is sent to our servers. The entropy indicator shows you the strength of your password.

Question 2

What is a passphrase?

Accepted Answer

A passphrase is a combination of multiple random words (e.g., 'correct-horse-battery-staple'). They are easier to remember than random character strings but still provide high security through their length.

Question 3

What does the pattern syntax mean?

Accepted Answer

Patterns allow you to define the structure of your password: U=Uppercase, L=Lowercase, N=Number, S=Special, X=Any. Example: 'UUU-NNN-LLL' generates a password like 'ABC-123-xyz'.

Question 4

What is entropy?

Accepted Answer

Entropy measures the randomness of a password in bits. Higher entropy means a more secure password. Values above 60 bits are considered very secure against brute-force attacks.

Question 5

Are my settings saved?

Accepted Answer

Yes, your settings are saved locally in your browser and restored on your next visit. Generated passwords are not saved.
