Why you should use a random generator
You don’t need to think up a new password every time you sign up for something. Just use Visualmodo’s password generator to create strong passwords for you.
Did you know that the Visualmodo app has this generator, too? All you need to remember is one strong password for Visualmodo to unlock all the random passwords stored in the app. Plus, the app can autofill login details for you, too – how nice is that?
What makes passwords strong
Strong passwords are unique and random. Humans aren’t very good at coming up with passwords that are either of those things, let alone both. So we created the Visualmodo Strong Password Generator tool to create secure, complex passwords – including ones that combine upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
81% of data breaches are caused by reused or weak passwords, so random, unique passwords are your best defense against online threats.
Why your passwords need to be unique
Using the same password for your email account and bank account is a bad idea. If one of those services is breached, an attacker could try to use your leaked password to access the other account. And if you’ve used that same password for 14 different online accounts, you’re making the attacker’s job very, very easy. Protect yourself by using a generator to create different passwords for all of your online accounts.
Why random passwords work
Random passwords are hard for hackers to guess or crack with a brute-force attack. Hackers know that many people use common, predictable passwords like birthday and phone numbers and will often try those first.
Random passwords can contain a jumble of ambiguous characters or combine unrelated words. That’s how Visualmodo Strong Password Generator creates passwords that are easy to remember but still cryptographically strong.
Q&A
How does the password generator work?
The Visualmodo password generator creates random passwords based on parameters set by you. Parameters include password length, whether the password should be easy to say or read, and whether the password should have uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
The password generated, based on the user’s parameters, is then checked against the zxcvbn library – a standard in evaluating password security – to see how strong the password you generate is.
How to create a strong password
A strong password is a unique password. A good password should be made up at least 15 characters, including lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters. It shouldn’t include common words or sensitive information (birthdays, phone numbers).
The Visualmodo password generator is the best way to create complex passwords, as it will create a unique password for you every time. Whether you need a new password or want to improve online security by updating old, weak passwords, you should rely on our built-in password generator.
Can a strong password be hacked?
While a strong password can be technically hacked, it would take an imperceivable amount of time to do so. A recent report found that a 12-character password made only of numbers would take just 25 seconds to hack. Compare that to a 12-character password made up of numbers, uppercase and lowercase letters, and symbols, and the amount of time it would take to hack increases to 34,000 years. So a strong password won’t be hackable in your lifetime. Read more in the infographic.
Is Visualmodo password generator safe?
Yes. The Visualmodo password generator creates random, secure passwords based on the parameters defined by you. Any password generated is tested against the industry-standard zxcvbn library to determine how strong the password you generate is.
