# Password Generator

> Generate strong random passwords using your browser's cryptographic random source.

To generate a strong password, set the length and character sets above and press generate. Passwords use crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure random source, and are created entirely on your device — never sent to or stored on a server.

## FAQ

### Are these passwords really random?

Yes. They use crypto.getRandomValues, which draws from the operating system's cryptographic entropy pool — not Math.random, which is predictable and unsuitable for secrets.

### How long should a password be?

Aim for at least 16 characters with mixed types, giving roughly 100 bits of entropy. Length matters far more than complexity: a longer simple password beats a short convoluted one.
