Question of the day
• What are secure passwords? How to generate secure password
Secure password is a password that one can not guess or crack using special software.
The best password contains only random characters.
How to create secure passwords:
The most important thing when you choose a password is to make it as difficult as possible for guess.
• Strong password is a password that is at least eight characters. The more characters your password contains, the more difficult it can be to figure out.
• Include a random combination of letters, numbers, and symbols.
• Contain a mixture of uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Don't use personal information and dictionary words in your passwords.

Password Generator
How can I generate passwords using My Password Generator?
To generate password:
• Double-click on My Password Generator desktop icon or tray icon to open My Password Generator main window.
• Click "Tools" button and select "Password Generator".
• In "Random password generator settings" area specify password length and what characters you want to use (upper/lower case letters, digits).
My Password Generator generates random passwords of any length. Randomness of generated passwords makes them hard to guess. You can set password length in "Password length" field.
• Click "Generate password" button and you'll see your password in "Generated password" field.
Random passwords can be edited and copied to the clipboard (manually or using "Copy password" button) for pasting into other applications.
If you want to generate another password, just click the "Generate password".
[top]
How can I use generated passwords in different applications?
To easily copy generated passwords to use them in different applications, you should use 'Copy Password' or 'Generate and Copy Password' features.
Using "Copy password" feature you can easily copy generated password to clipboard and then paste it into password field in any application.
To save your time you can use "Generate and Copy password" feature (also accessible by hotkeys and from tray menu)

• Double-click on My Password Generator desktop icon or tray icon to open My Password Generator main window.
• Click "Tools" button and select "Password Generator".

How long my password should be to ensure better protection?
Each character you add to your password length increases its security. Your passwords should be 12 or more characters in length. The more characters your password contains, the more difficult it can be to guess.
Password length is even more important than using different additional characters. E.g. if you use standard English alphabet (A-Z, a-z) and digits (0-9) - total 62 characters, increasing password length from 6 to 8 characters causes the number of possible passwords will be increased in 3844 times. While 18 additional special characters that can be used for creating passwords (total 80 characters) if password length is 6 characters, will increase the number of possible passwords only in about 4.6 times.
