About password security
Why random passwords are better
Humans are predictable: they use birthdays, names, dictionary words. Attackers know these patterns and check them first. A random password from our generator has no such weaknesses.
What is password entropy
Entropy measures the "randomness" of a password in bits. A 16-character password with the full set (letters, numbers, special chars) has about 100 bits of entropy. For comparison: 80 bits is considered secure for decades.
Unique password for each service
Use a separate random password for each website. If one service gets hacked, the others remain safe. A password manager makes this convenient.
