Common questions about the password generator.

How strong is strong enough?

For an online account, aim for 70 bits of entropy or more. A 14-character random password or a five-word passphrase gets you there.

Why exclude look-alike characters?

Characters such as O and 0 or l and 1 are easy to misread when you have to type a password by hand.

Should I reuse a strong password?

No. One password per site, ideally kept in a password manager.
