Question 1

What makes a password strong?

Accepted Answer

A strong password typically has at least 12 characters, includes uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It should avoid dictionary words, personal information, and common patterns. The longer and more random, the better.

Question 2

Should I use the same password for multiple accounts?

Accepted Answer

Never use the same password for multiple accounts. If one account is compromised, all accounts with that password become vulnerable. Use our generator to create unique passwords for each account and consider using a password manager.

Question 3

What are ambiguous characters and why exclude them?

Accepted Answer

Ambiguous characters are those that look similar and can be confused: 0 (zero) and O (letter O), 1 (one) and l (lowercase L), I (uppercase i). Excluding them prevents typing errors, especially when reading passwords from paper or screens.

Question 4

How does the deterministic password generator work?

Accepted Answer

The deterministic generator creates a unique password by combining your master password with the website domain (and optionally year/month). It uses cryptographic hashing to ensure the same inputs always produce the same password, while making it computationally infeasible to reverse-engineer your master password.

Question 5

Is the deterministic password generator secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when used with a strong master password. The generator uses SHA-256 hashing which is cryptographically secure. However, if someone knows your master password and the algorithm, they could recreate your passwords. Always use a strong, unique master password and keep it secret.
