Yes, it is safe to use due to how truly random the generated passwords are. The most important thing about a password generator is the flexibility and customization to create really random passwords. Dashlane allows different options for the user such as the ability to limit them by letters, digits, and symbols but also to avoid similar characters. For signed in users our generator follows industry-standard encryption protocols and generates passwords locally on your device, ensuring that your password is not shared or stored by Dashlane. If you are a Dashlane user and you save your passwords in Dashlane, your generated random password is encrypted and protected with your Dashlane master password.

It is generally recommended to change your password regularly, ideally every 3-6 months, but this becomes less necessary if you’re using a random password generator. Regular password changes help mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and maintain the security of your accounts. However, if you suspect a security breach or if you receive a notification about a compromised service, it is advisable to change your password immediately.

- Use a password manager like Dashlane, with a built in random password generator tool, to securely generate, store and manage your passwords. <a href="https://www.dashlane.com/pricing">Try Dashlane now!</a> - Create unique and complex passwords with a strong password generator for each online account. - Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible. - Regularly update your devices and software to ensure security patches are in place. - Be cautious of phishing attempts and avoid sharing your passwords with anyone. A secure password is a safe password.

- Using simple and easily guessable weak passwords like "password123" or "123456" for login credentials. - Reusing the same password across multiple accounts, which increases the risk if one account is compromised. - Using personal information such as names, birthdates, or phone numbers in passwords. Neglecting to change default passwords provided by devices or services. - Use best practices when sharing. Use a platform that allows for easy password management – one that is encrypted and uses autofill to safely share passwords, secure notes and credit cards. With autofill there is no need to use online communication platforms or paper notes to share passwords or secure information with friends, family or coworkers. - Writing down passwords or storing them in unsecured locations is the opposite of ensuring you have a secure password. - Ignoring notification of data breaches and not changing leaked passwords.
