Everything you need to know about Safe Pass Guru's password, passphrase, UUID, and ULID generators.
General
What is Safe Pass Guru? expand_more
Safe Pass Guru is an all-in-one password and identifier generating tool designed to help you create strong and secure passwords, passphrases, UUIDs, and ULIDs effortlessly.
How does Safe Pass Guru work? expand_more
Safe Pass Guru allows you to customise password length and character options to generate personalised passwords. It uses the Web Crypto API (CSPRNG) to ensure cryptographic strength and security.
Is Safe Pass Guru secure to use? expand_more
Yes, Safe Pass Guru prioritises your security. It operates entirely in your browser and does not transmit any generated data to external servers, ensuring your passwords stay confidential.
Can I use Safe Pass Guru without creating an account? expand_more
Yes, Safe Pass Guru operates without any accounts. It is a standalone tool that requires no sign-ups or logins.
Is Safe Pass Guru suitable for mobile devices? expand_more
Yes, Safe Pass Guru is fully responsive and works on smartphones and tablets. It can also be installed as a Progressive Web App (PWA) for offline use.
Can I use Safe Pass Guru offline? expand_more
Yes, Safe Pass Guru works as an installable Progressive Web App (PWA). Once visited, the site is cached and fully functional offline.
Passwords
Can I trust Safe Pass Guru to generate strong passwords? expand_more
Absolutely. Safe Pass Guru uses a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) via the Web Crypto API and calculates entropy in real-time so you can see exactly how strong each generated password is.
What character options can I choose? expand_more
You can select from a range of character options, including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and symbols to customise your passwords.
Can I customise the length of the passwords? expand_more
Yes, Safe Pass Guru allows you to set the desired password length from 4 to 64 characters, empowering you to create passwords that align with your security needs.
What are the modifier options? expand_more
Modifiers let you fine-tune your passwords: Easy to Say generates pronounceable passwords, Easy to Read removes ambiguous characters (like I/l/1/O/0), URL Safe removes characters that cause issues in URLs, Filename Safe removes shell-problematic characters, and No Duplicates ensures each character appears only once.
What is the No Duplicates option? expand_more
The No Duplicates option ensures each character appears only once in the generated password. If the requested length exceeds the number of unique characters available, the length is automatically reduced to match.
What is Entropy? expand_more
Entropy is a measure of password unpredictability, expressed in bits. The higher the entropy, the harder a password is to crack. Safe Pass Guru calculates entropy in real-time based on the character pool size and password length.
Can I refresh or regenerate passwords? expand_more
Yes! Use the refresh button or simply change any option to instantly generate a new password. Each generation uses fresh random data from the CSPRNG.
Passphrases
What is a passphrase and why should I use one? expand_more
A passphrase is a sequence of random words that serves as your password. Passphrases are significantly more secure than traditional passwords because they have higher entropy while being easier to remember. Safe Pass Guru uses the BIP39 wordlist with 2048 words.
How can I copy the generated passwords? expand_more
Use the copy button next to each generated value. When copying multiple UUIDs or ULIDs, they are joined with newlines for easy pasting.
UUIDs & ULIDs
What UUID versions are supported? expand_more
Safe Pass Guru supports UUID versions 1 through 8 plus GUID, all per RFC 9562. Version 4 (random) is the default. You can also generate multiple UUIDs at once (1, 5, 10, or 50).
What is a ULID and why would I use one? expand_more
A ULID (Universally Unique Lexicographically Sortable Identifier) is a 26-character identifier that combines a timestamp with randomness. ULIDs sort naturally by creation time, making them ideal for database primary keys.
Privacy & Data
Does Safe Pass Guru store any Personal Identifiable Information (PII)? expand_more
No, Safe Pass Guru does not store any Personal Identifiable Information. It operates entirely in your browser and ensures your data remains private.
How are my user settings handled? expand_more
All user settings are stored locally on your device using localStorage. Safe Pass Guru does not rely on cookies or external servers to save your preferences.
Does Safe Pass Guru use cookies? expand_more
No, Safe Pass Guru does not utilise cookies for functionality. All settings are saved locally on your device using localStorage. Third-party advertising partners may use cookies.
Is my data synchronised across multiple devices? expand_more
