Apart from offering multiple customization options, a good password generator must be open source and independently audited so anyone can verify how it works. As hacking techniques advance, a good password generator must always remain up to date. A good password generator is usually integrated into a password manager to help you store and manage all your passwords.

It’s simple to create a strong password or passphrase with Proton Pass. Just open the password generator page on your Proton Pass web, iOS or Android app and fully customize the password to your needs.

Quantum computers are much faster than classical computers because they operate on qubits rather than bits. While bits have only two possible values, qubits exploit the unique behavior of subatomic particles which can have multiple values. When it comes to cracking passwords, quantum computers can use special algorithms to check multiple passwords at once in a superpowered brute force attack. In theory, quantum computers could someday crack passwords that today are considered safe. Luckily, quantum-safe cryptography already exists and many companies, including Proton, are already putting it in
