Question 1

How does ShieldPasswords generate secure passwords?

Accepted Answer

ShieldPasswords uses the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) which is a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) built into your browser. All passwords are generated 100% client-side - no data is ever sent to any server.

Question 2

Is it safe to use an online password generator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, when the generator processes everything client-side like ShieldPasswords does. Our passwords are generated entirely in your browser using cryptographic randomness. Nothing is transmitted, stored, or logged. The code is open source for full transparency.

Question 3

What is a passphrase and why should I use one?

Accepted Answer

A passphrase is a password made of multiple random words (e.g., "Tiger-Brave-Forest-Star"). Passphrases with 4+ words provide excellent security (52+ bits of entropy) while being much easier to remember than random character strings. They are ideal for master passwords.

Question 4

How long should my password be?

Accepted Answer

Minimum 12 characters for general accounts, 16+ for important accounts like email, and 20+ for financial and high-security accounts. For master passwords, use a passphrase with 4 or more words.

Question 5

Does ShieldPasswords store my generated passwords?

Accepted Answer

No. ShieldPasswords has zero data collection. Generated passwords exist only in your browser memory and are never transmitted to any server. We use no cookies, no analytics on password content, and require no registration.

Question 6

What languages does ShieldPasswords support?

Accepted Answer

ShieldPasswords is available in 22 languages: English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, German, Dutch, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Polish, Romanian, Czech, Hungarian, Greek, Turkish, Russian, Ukrainian, Japanese, and Korean.
