Strong passwords, explained
A strong password is long, random, and unique. Clever substitutions like “P@ssw0rd!” are weaker than a longer random string. Generate passwords locally so they never hit a server.
Open Password GeneratorWhat “strong” means
Strength comes from entropy — unpredictability. Length multiplies possibilities faster than adding one symbol class. Unique passwords per site limit damage if one service leaks.
Why generate in the browser
Online generators that upload your options (or the result) add risk. Kitnax’s generator runs with the Web Crypto API in your browser. Nothing is sent to Kitnax.
How to create one with Kitnax
- Open the Password Generator.
- Set length (16+ for most accounts; longer for important vaults).
- Enable the character sets you need (and that the site allows).
- Generate, check the strength meter, then copy into your password manager.
Use cases
- New account signups
- Rotating compromised credentials
- API tokens and app secrets (when random strings are enough)
- Teaching teammates what “strong” looks like
Best practices
Store results in a password manager. Prefer length over complexity theater. Never reuse passwords across banks, email and work. Avoid personal words — generators beat memory every time.
