What is a passphrase?

A passphrase is a password built from multiple words. Random-word passphrases can be very strong and easier to type than complex character strings.

How many words should I use?

Aim for 4–6 random words. If you want extra safety, increase the number of words.

Should I add numbers or symbols?

If a website requires them, yes. Otherwise, adding another random word is usually the biggest strength boost.

Do you store my passphrases?

No. The tool runs locally in your browser. Any favourites/history (if used) are stored only on your device.
