What Makes a Password Strong? (NIST Guidelines)
According to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST Special Publication 800-63B), password length is the single most critical factor in resisting modern brute-force and dictionary attacks.
- Length over Complexity: A 16-character alphanumeric passphrase provides significantly higher mathematical entropy than an 8-character password with arbitrary symbol substitutions.
- Cryptographic Randomness: Standard
Math.random()is deterministic and predictable. Our generator usescrypto.getRandomValues(), the browser's cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG). - Zero Cloud Transmission: Generated passwords never touch a server or remote network, eliminating exposure to MITM intercepts or logging.
