About the Handiwork Password Generator

What makes a password strong?
Strength comes mostly from length and unpredictability. A longer password drawn from a larger character set (mixing letters, numbers, and symbols) has vastly more possible combinations, which makes brute-force and guessing attacks impractical. Aim for at least 16 characters for important accounts.
Use a unique password everywhere
Reusing passwords means one breach can compromise many accounts. Generate a unique password per site and store them in a password manager so you only have to remember one master password.
Frequently asked questions
Are the generated passwords safe to use?
Yes. Passwords are created using your browser’s cryptographically secure random number generator and are never transmitted or stored.
How long should my password be?
Longer is stronger. Use at least 12–16 characters, and more for sensitive accounts like email and banking.
