Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a password strong?

Length matters more than complexity. A 16-character password with mixed words is stronger than an 8-character password with symbols. Use a password generator and a password manager.

How do I verify a downloaded file?

Compare the file's hash (MD5 or SHA-256) with the hash published by the download source. If they match, the file hasn't been tampered with. Use our hash generator to check.

Do I really need different passwords for every account?

Yes. If one site gets breached and you reuse the same password, attackers can access all your accounts. A password manager makes this manageable.
