Why You Need a Strong Password Generator
Using "Password123" or your birthday puts your digital life at risk. Modern hacking tools can guess simple passwords in milliseconds. The only way to stay safe is to use long, random, and complex strings of characters.
Best Practices for Password Security
- Length is Key: A 16-character password is exponentially harder to crack than an 8-character one.
- Mix it Up: Always combine uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Use a Manager: Don't try to memorize these random strings. Use a secure password manager like Bitwarden or 1Password to store them.
- Client-Side Only: Never trust a generator that sends your password to a server. WebBox generates your password right here in your browser's memory.
