Securing a New Online Account

Two real steps, not just one -- a strong password only matters if it's actually strong.

Generating a genuinely random password is the first step because it's the actual security measure -- a password you invent yourself, even a complex-looking one, tends to follow patterns that are more predictable than they feel. The second step exists because a password can look strong to the eye and still be weak against real cracking methods; checking it against actual estimated cracking time is a meaningfully different, more honest test than just eyeballing length and symbols.

Each step opens as its own tool -- download from one, upload into the next, same as any free tool on the site.
