Generate Strong Passwords Instantly

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about password security, our generator, and best practices for staying safe online.

Is it safe to use an online password generator?

Yes, Nice Password is completely safe. All password generation happens directly in your browser using JavaScript - we never store, transmit, or have access to any passwords generated. The passwords are created using cryptographically secure random number generation (Web Crypto API) and never leave your device.

How strong are the passwords generated by Nice Password?

Our passwords are extremely strong when using recommended settings. With default settings (12+ characters, mixed case, numbers, and symbols), passwords have over 60 bits of entropy, making them virtually impossible to crack with current technology. The strength indicator shows real-time analysis of your password's security.

What makes a password strong?

A strong password should have:

  • At least 12 characters (16+ recommended)
  • Mix of uppercase and lowercase letters
  • Numbers and special characters
  • No dictionary words or personal information
  • Unique for each account

How long should my password be?

We recommend at least 12 characters for most accounts, and 16+ characters for sensitive accounts like banking or email. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack. Our generator supports passwords from 5 to 1024 characters to meet any security requirement.

Should I use special characters in my password?

Yes, special characters significantly increase password strength by expanding the character set. However, be aware that some websites have restrictions on which special characters they accept. Our generator uses commonly accepted symbols: !@#$%^&*()_+{}[]|;:,.<>?

Can I trust this website with generating my passwords?

Absolutely. Nice Password operates with complete transparency - our code is open source and can be reviewed. We use industry-standard security practices, generate passwords client-side only, and never collect or store any password data. All generation happens in your browser's secure environment.

How do I remember all these complex passwords?

We strongly recommend using a reputable password manager like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass. These tools securely store your passwords and can generate strong passwords automatically. Never reuse passwords across multiple accounts.

What's the difference between your generator and others?

Nice Password focuses on simplicity, security, and transparency. We offer real-time password strength analysis, batch generation for multiple passwords, customizable length options, and complete client-side generation. Plus, we're open source and completely free with no registration required.

Can I use these passwords for business/enterprise accounts?

Yes, our passwords meet or exceed enterprise security standards. However, always check your organization's specific password policy requirements. Some enterprises may require additional complexity rules or have restrictions on certain characters.

How often should I change my passwords?

Modern security best practices recommend changing passwords only when there's evidence of compromise, rather than on a schedule. Focus on using unique, strong passwords for each account and enabling two-factor authentication where possible.

What if a website doesn't accept special characters?

Some older websites have restrictions on special characters. If you encounter this, simply uncheck the 'Special Characters' option in our generator. The password will still be strong with uppercase, lowercase, and numbers.

Is two-factor authentication (2FA) still needed with strong passwords?

Yes! Two-factor authentication adds an essential extra layer of security. Even with the strongest password, 2FA protects against phishing attacks, data breaches, and other threats. Always enable 2FA when available.

Can I generate passwords offline?

Once you load Nice Password in your browser, it works offline since all generation happens client-side. However, we recommend using the latest version online to ensure you have the most recent security updates and features.

How does the batch password generator work?

Our batch generator creates multiple unique passwords at once using the same settings. This is useful when setting up multiple accounts or when you need several password options to choose from. Each password is independently generated for maximum security.

What browsers are supported?

Nice Password works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. We use standard web technologies and the Web Crypto API for secure random number generation, which is supported by all current browsers.

Do you collect any data about my usage?

We use privacy-focused analytics to understand how users interact with our site (like page views and feature usage), but we never collect or store any passwords, personal information, or sensitive data. All password generation is completely private.

Can I suggest new features?

Absolutely! We welcome feedback and feature suggestions. You can contact us at [email protected]. We're always looking to improve the user experience while maintaining our security standards.

Is Nice Password really free?

Yes, Nice Password is completely free to use with no hidden costs, registration requirements, or premium features. We're supported by privacy-respectful advertising and are committed to keeping our core password generation features free for everyone.
