Question 1

Are generated passwords stored or uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. All passwords are generated in your browser using the Web Crypto API. We never upload, log, or store your passwords on a server. Optional history is saved only in your device’s LocalStorage when you choose Save.

Question 2

Is this password generator free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The core generator and security toolkit are free to use. The site may display ads to support hosting and development.

Question 3

How are passwords generated?

Accepted Answer

We use cryptographically secure random values from window.crypto.getRandomValues. Character sets and options you select determine the pool; we shuffle results and enforce inclusion of selected character types when applicable.

Question 4

Does it work offline?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Install the Progressive Web App (PWA). After the first visit, core generation tools work without an internet connection.

Question 5

What password length should I use?

Accepted Answer

For most accounts, 16+ characters with mixed character types is a strong baseline. High-value accounts benefit from 20+ characters or a long passphrase.

Question 6

Is MD5 secure for passwords?

Accepted Answer

No. MD5 and SHA-1 are unsuitable for password storage. Our hash tool is for checksums and developer convenience. Prefer SHA-256 (and proper password hashing like Argon2/bcrypt on servers).

Question 7

Can I use this for business accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Generate unique passwords per account and store them in an approved password manager. Enable MFA wherever possible.

Question 8

How do I contact support?

Accepted Answer

Email password@vektosys.com. We typically respond within 1–2 business days.
