How do hackers get your passยญword?
Even if you generate strong passwords and make sure they are as secure as possible, hackers can still get their hands on them. In addition to cracking your password, hackers can:
breach an online service you use and steal your passยญword from there
use a virus to log your keyยญstrokes as you log in
trick you into giving your passยญword to them with a phishing scam or social engineering
buy passยญwords from another hacker on an online black market
Modern hacking is a highly automated activity that targets millions of users at the same time. Thatโs why you should use one passยญword only for one account, instead of using the same ones on different accounts. Even if someone gets your passยญword, they can log into only a single account. Your other accounts are safe.

New member here and a new fellow SA. Where I work I need to setup passwords that follow particular rules: minimum length, letters, numbers, etc (no problem with these).
Unfortunately things get a little harder when it comes to special characters. Since the system accepts a very specific list of those !^()$+@&#%* and all major tools have a predefined set of symbols, whenever I generate a new password I have to always check that it doesn't contain unsupported chars.
Does a fully customizable password generator exist?
EDIT: Random Password Generator does exactly what I need! Been a member here for a few hours, but I'm already loving the community :)
Thanks Wise_Philosopher_ for sharing!
EDIT 2: Curious to know. What is everyone using to create passwords?
