Why Use a Password Manager?
The biggest security risk isn't password strength — it's password reuse. When any website suffers a data breach, attackers test stolen credentials on every major site (credential stuffing). A password manager lets you use a unique, strong password for every account without memorizing them. Popular free options include Bitwarden (open-source) and KeePassXC (offline). Our generator pairs perfectly with any password manager.
