What makes a password strong
The factors that really count – and the myths around them
| Common myth | What actually helps | |
|---|---|---|
| Length | ✗ Eight characters are enough | ✓ From 16 characters on, brute forcing becomes unrealistic |
| Character set | ✗ An exclamation mark on the end makes it secure | ✓ Lower case, upper case, digits and symbols spread across the whole password |
| Predictability | ✗ Name plus year of birth is easy to remember | ✓ Randomly generated, with no link to you |
| Reuse | ✗ One very good password for every service | ✓ A separate one per service – otherwise one breach exposes them all |
| Storage | ✗ A note on the monitor or a text file on the desktop | An encrypted password manager |

Frequently asked questions
Are the generated passwords secure?
Yes. The random numbers come from crypto.getRandomValues, your browser's cryptographically secure random source – not from Math.random. Generation happens entirely on your device; no password is sent to us or stored.
How long should a password be?
At least 16 characters if you do not have to type it yourself. Every extra character multiplies the effort needed to brute force it – length matters more than exotic symbols. For logins you enter by hand often, 20 characters are a good compromise.
Do I need a separate password for every service?
Yes, that is the single most important rule. If one provider is breached, attackers automatically try the stolen credentials on other services. One reused password turns somebody else's breach into your problem.
How am I supposed to remember that many passwords?
You are not supposed to – that is what password managers are for. You remember a single strong master password, everything else sits encrypted in the vault and is filled in automatically. Steganos Password Manager also syncs it to your smartphone and tablet if you want.
