    Worth knowing

    • Is it safe to use these as passwords? The strings are generated with secure randomness and never leave your device, so they are suitable. A password manager is still the best place to create and store passwords.
    • How long should a random password be? At least 16 characters with a mix of character types is a good rule for important accounts.
    • Will I get the same result twice? Practically never. Each click creates new, independent strings.
    • With nothing connected it makes How many rows; connected after other rows, it adds one new string to each of them.
