Password Tips for PWtime
Short, practical advice to create strong passwords locally with PWtime.Fast, private, and free.
About PWtime
PWtime is a free password generator that runs fully in your browser. Choose a length between 2–14, switch character sets a–z, A–Z, 0–9, and optional Symbols, then click Generate and Copy. No servers. No tracking. Your passwords never leave your device.
Quick Start
- Length: set 12–14 for most accounts.
- Sets: turn on a–z, A–Z, 0–9 and add Symbols if allowed.
- Generate & Copy: click once to create, once to copy.
- Unique per site: never reuse the same password.
- Store safely: use a reputable password manager.
Practical Tips
1) Strong defaults
- Use 12–14 chars.
- Keep a–z, A–Z, 0–9 on; add Symbols when accepted.
- For sites with limits, try 12 chars without symbols.
2) One password per site
Re‑use is the #1 risk. If one site leaks, attackers try that password elsewhere. Generate a fresh one every time.
3) Pair with a manager
Let a password manager remember them. PWtime makes strong ones; the manager stores and auto‑fills.
4) Enable 2FA
Add an authenticator app or security key where possible. It protects you even if a password leaks.
Fun Facts & Myths
- Common picks: Simple passwords like 123456 and password show up in many breach lists—avoid anything predictable.
- Length beats tweaks: Adding a couple of characters increases guessing time far more than swapping a→@.
- Symbols aren’t magic: They help, but the biggest win is length plus multiple character sets.
- Reuse risk: Most account takeovers start with reused credentials from another site’s breach.
- Manager myths: Good managers encrypt locally and sync safely, much safer than reusing one “memorable” password.
âť“ PWtime FAQ
Does PWtime send my passwords anywhere?
No. PWtime runs fully in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored on our servers.
Is 12 characters enough?
For most accounts, 12–14 with 3–4 character sets is a solid choice. For very sensitive accounts, also enable 2FA.
Why is there a 14 character cap?
It keeps the UI simple and fast for common needs. If you want longer phrases, generate twice and combine, or use a passphrase manager.
Symbols don’t work on a site—what now?
Toggle Symbols off and regenerate. Length + multiple sets still gives strong results.
