Question 1

What makes a strong WiFi password?

Accepted Answer

A strong WiFi password should be at least 12 characters long, mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. For WPA3, the minimum is 8 characters, but longer passwords are strongly recommended. The entropy indicator shows you how secure your password is.

Question 2

What is the difference between WEP, WPA, and WPA3?

Accepted Answer

WEP is an old and insecure protocol — avoid it if possible. WPA/WPA2 is the current standard for most devices. WPA3 is the newest and most secure protocol, required for WiFi 6E and WiFi 7. This generator creates passwords compatible with all three.

Question 3

What is password entropy?

Accepted Answer

Entropy measures password strength in bits. It is calculated as length × log₂(character pool). More entropy means more possible combinations for an attacker to try. 50+ bits is acceptable, 72+ is strong, and 100+ is very strong.

Question 4

Are the generated passwords secure?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All passwords are generated using crypto.getRandomValues(), a cryptographically secure random number generator. Passwords are never stored, logged, or sent to any server — everything happens locally in your browser.

Question 5

Should I use special characters in my WiFi password?

Accepted Answer

Safe symbols (!@#$%^&*) are generally compatible with all modern routers. Extended symbols or non-ASCII characters may cause issues on some older devices. Use the compatibility profile option to generate passwords that work on any device.
