Strong Password Generator
- Use long passwords (min.: 12 characters)
- Always mix upper case, lower case characters, symbols and numbers
- Do not use words (or shuffle its characters, omit parts of it etc.)
- Do not use names (your own, or family), birth dates etc.
- Do not use the same password for different sites (even if it is very strong)
- Try to use phrases, sentences to remember passwords
- Try to use password manager applications or services with only one strong master password
Nowadays, it is simply impossible to use services without registration. All of them require some username and password, and these data are extremely valuable. Security breaches happen every day, and your precious data is in the wrong hands at once. The bare minimum that can be done is to make it harder to crack at least the password so that hackers could not get full access to the accounts and do harm and act in someone else's name. Easy passwords are cracked in a relatively short time (surprisingly short, actually) with the help of word dictionaries by simple brute force. However, adding just a bit of complexity increases the deciphering exponentially. This site generates completely random passwords in various lengths combining lower case, upper case characters, numbers, and symbols to assure maximum security. It is also possible to make passwords in bulk e.g. for test accounts or a registration in a large number. The generated passwords are truly random, as much as computers can generate random numbers, and no actual words, patterns, or algorithms are used. Also, the entire process happens locally on the machine. Passwords are not stored, logged. They do not appear in cookies and are not sent anywhere over the internet.
To manage a large amount of password is easier with a password manager service where technically only a strong master password is needed then the password manager takes care of the rest safely and securely storing as many passwords as one needs, and it can even be free, and the costs are lower than recovering from damage to even only one cracked password. Sometimes it might be necessary to back up the accounts and passwords stored by the password manager. The backup can be stored at a very safe location if it is in a written form or on an encrypted or e.g. fingerprint locked device - also at a safe place. There is nothing wrong with this.
Another way to make authentication safer is to use two-factor authentication (2FA) or even multi-factor authentication (MFA). With the help of this kind of authentication, another code is needed to be sent by the service provider to a telephone by SMS or to some e-mail account. It is also worth configuring authenticator applications to prevent security breaches.
Be aware of social hacking! With the help of this, the credentials can leak out by simply copying a login page. The copy is almost entirely accurate, visually most of the time undetectable and that is why these attacks are extremely dangerous. Multi-factor authentication helps to avoid these cases or at least helps to pay attention that something suspicious is going on as other parts of the authentication are missing, and then it is for sure that it was an attempt to get some passwords. In these cases, it is a must to change the password immediately. The multi-factor authentication helped to prevent complete login, but the user password is in the wrong hands for sure.
No passwords are stored or logged!
