Question 1

How does Passwordly generate secure passwords?

Accepted Answer

Passwordly uses a cryptographically secure random number generator to create truly random passwords. We combine character sets (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) based on your selected options to create unpredictable passwords that meet modern security standards.

Question 2

What makes a password strong?

Accepted Answer

A strong password has sufficient length (12+ characters), complexity (mix of character types), unpredictability (no common words or patterns), and uniqueness (not used elsewhere). Our strength meter evaluates these factors to give you real-time feedback on your password's security.

Question 3

Does Passwordly store the passwords I generate?

Accepted Answer

No. Passwordly operates entirely in your browser and does not store, transmit, or log the passwords you generate. Your generated passwords never leave your device, ensuring maximum privacy and security.

Question 4

How often should I change my passwords?

Accepted Answer

Current security best practices recommend changing passwords when there's a reason to believe they've been compromised, rather than on a fixed schedule. Use our breach checker tool to verify if your accounts have been involved in known data breaches, and change those passwords immediately.
