# About This Calculator
In the digital age, your password is the only thing standing between your personal data and cybercriminals. Using "password123" or your pet's name is akin to leaving your front door wide unlocked.
This Password Generator creates cryptographically strong, random strings that are mathematically nearly impossible to guess or brute-force.
Why Length Matters More Than Complexity
While symbols and numbers are important, length is the most critical factor. A 12-character password takes exponentially longer to crack than an 8-character one.
- 8 Characters: Can be cracked in seconds.
- 12 Characters: Takes weeks/months.
- 16+ Characters: Takes trillions of years (with current tech).
Best Practices
- Never Reuse Passwords: If one site gets hacked, attackers try that password everywhere.
- Use a Password Manager: Don't try to memorize random strings like
7vB#9kL$2mP. Use a secure manager (like Bitwarden or 1Password) to store them. - Enable 2FA: Two-Factor Authentication adds a second layer of defense that a password alone cannot provide.
How To Use
- Adjust the **Length** slider (recommend 16+).
- Toggle **Character Types** (Symbols, Numbers, etc.).
- Click **Generate Password**.
- Click **Copy** to save it to your clipboard.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this generator safe?+
Yes. The passwords are generated locally in your browser using cryptographic randomness. They are never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
Why should I use symbols?+
Adding symbols increases the 'alphabet' size attackers must guess from. However, length is still the primary factor for security.
How often should I change my passwords?+
Security experts now recommend changing passwords only if you suspect a breach. Frequent arbitrary changes often lead to users choosing weaker, predictable patterns (e.g., Summer2024!, Fall2024!).
What is 2FA?+
Two-Factor Authentication requires a second form of ID (like a code on your phone) to log in. You should enable it on every account that supports it.
Is Password Generator free to use?+
Yes, Password Generator on Matheric is completely free to use. We believe in accessible education and utility for everyone.
How accurate is Password Generator?+
