How do I add banned symbols?

Type them as chips (e.g., $, /, @) or select a preset profile; the blacklist applies immediately.

What if I exclude too many characters?

You’ll see a compatibility warning; increase length or remove some exclusions to restore entropy.

Which profiles help with site compatibility?

Use banking/API/email presets to mirror common site restrictions, then fine-tune the chip list.

Can I still avoid ambiguous characters?

Yes. Avoid ambiguous works alongside the blacklist to remove 0/O/1/l, etc.

Is everything generated locally?

Yes. Blacklist handling and password generation run fully in your browser.

How do I copy quickly?

Use the copy button or Ctrl/Cmd + C when there’s no selection.

Can I share settings via URL?

Yes. Length, ambiguity, and blacklist settings remain in the URL when switching variants.

What if the site still rejects my password?

Remove additional symbols or increase length; regenerate until the warning clears.

Does the blacklist affect other modes?

The blacklist applies to this password mode; passphrase and PIN modes are independent.

What makes a strong secret

Mix length, diversity, and pattern-free randomness for safer credentials.

Long

12+ characters for passwords, 4–5 words for passphrases, configurable PIN length.

Diverse characters

Mix upper/lowercase, digits, symbols, and avoid easy keyboard runs.

Complex

Turn on "avoid ambiguous" and let entropy + pattern checks guard against common sequences.

Unique each time

Never reuse secrets—generate a fresh one per account to contain breaches.

Eyeball strength

See weak/medium/strong/veryStrong labels plus entropy so you can ship only solid secrets.

Passphrase ready

Random words + optional numbers/symbols for memorable yet strong logins.
