NIST Password Security Standards

✅ Recommended Practices

  • • Use passwords with at least 12 characters
  • • Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
  • • Use unique passwords for each account
  • • Store passwords with a password manager
  • • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA)

❌ Avoid These Practices

  • • Using personal information (birthdays, names)
  • • Using common passwords (123456, password)
  • • Reusing passwords across multiple sites
  • • Writing passwords on paper or documents
  • • Sharing passwords through insecure channels

Technical Implementation & Security

🔐 Random Number Generation

Uses browser-native crypto.getRandomValues() API, a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) compliant with RFC 4086 standards.

📊 Strength Assessment

Evaluates based on password length, character type diversity, entropy calculations, and other dimensions, referencing OWASP password strength guidelines.

🛡️ Privacy Protection

All password generation and processing occurs entirely in your browser locally, with no data sent to servers, ensuring absolute password security.

Common Password Security Threats

🔨 Brute Force Attacks

Attackers use automated tools to try all possible password combinations. Strong passwords can extend cracking time from seconds to thousands of years.

📚 Dictionary Attacks

Attacks using common password lists. Avoid predictable passwords like common words, dates, and names.

🔄 Credential Stuffing

Using passwords leaked from other sites to attempt logins. Using unique passwords for each account effectively prevents such attacks.
