Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I change my passwords?
Change passwords immediately if there's a security breach, but for normal use, strong unique passwords don't need frequent changes. Focus on using unique passwords for each account instead.
Is it safe to use online password generators?
Yes, reputable password generators like this one are safe. The passwords are generated locally in your browser and are not stored or transmitted anywhere.
Should I write down my passwords?
It's better to use a password manager, but if you must write them down, store them in a secure location away from your computer. Never store passwords in plain text files or unsecured notes.
