Why Use a Password Generator?
A strong password is your first line of defense against hackers. Using a password generator helps you:
- Create truly random passwords - humans are bad at randomness
- Avoid common patterns - no more "password123" or birthdays
- Generate unique passwords - different password for every account
- Meet security requirements - easily include required character types
