Frequently Asked Questions
Straightforward answers about password generation, privacy and password security.
Is using HashMyPass safe?
Passwords generated by the tool are created locally in your browser. The generator uses the browser's Web Crypto API for randomness.
Are generated passwords stored?
The static website package does not submit generated passwords to a server. They remain in your browser unless you choose to copy them.
Can I test a password in the crack-time calculator?
The calculator is designed to analyse the password locally in your browser. It does not need to send the password to a server.
How often should I change passwords?
Change passwords immediately when you suspect compromise or reuse. For ordinary unique passwords, focus on maintaining uniqueness and strong account protection.
What is the best password length?
There is no magic number for every situation, but longer and unpredictable passwords generally provide a larger safety margin.
