Cybersecurity translated into plain English. The internet is complicated enough. We built this so anyone can be secure, not just people who already know what “256-bit AES” means.
After years around enterprise security tools, a pattern became impossible to ignore. The tools were built for engineers. The advice was written for engineers. The blogs read like vendor documentation.
Meanwhile, the people who needed security help most had nowhere to go that did not make them feel stupid. Parents. Small business owners. Anyone who has ever clicked “remind me later” on a software update.
Security being unintentionally reserved for tech people is a problem worth solving. So we built the translator.
Every review on this site is checked and approved by Tim O. before it is published.
If we recommend a password manager, we did not just read the spec sheet. We installed it. We used it for testing. We tried to cancel the subscription to see if they made it difficult. We timed how long support took to reply.
Our work on AI-generated passwords found that a major language model produced the same password string 18 out of 50 times, with only approximately 27 bits of entropy versus the approximately 98 bits a cryptographically secure generator produces. That required actually running the tests, not summarizing someone else’s blog post.
We verify claims so you do not have to.
We review product features, pricing, privacy documentation, security architecture, and suitability for everyday users. When we have personally tested a product, we clearly describe what we tested. We do not imply hands-on testing where it did not occur, and we update factual details when plans or pricing change.
Translation: we literally cannot see your passwords.
When you use our Password Generator, everything happens inside your browser. The password is created on your device using the Web Crypto API. It never travels to our servers. Ever.
Our code is open source on GitHub. Any developer can verify this claim line by line.
Translation: we do not track you.
We do not run Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, or any other tracking service. The only outside service our tools contact is Have I Been Pwned, which the password checker uses to look for breaches. It receives only a short one-way hash prefix, never your password.
Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you click through and buy, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We currently participate in affiliate programs with Nord Security (NordVPN, NordPass, and Coveron), Aura (via Impact), Surfshark, Proton, and RoboForm.
We also sell a small number of our own guides and services, which are clearly marked on the pages where they appear.
Some pages may also carry sponsored placements, where a company pays to be featured. Sponsored placements are always labeled "Sponsored," and their links are marked as sponsored.
Neither commissions nor sponsorships buy a review, a rating, or a recommendation. If a product is difficult to cancel, has poor support, or does not deliver on its claims, we will say so.
Reviews start with a real install on the devices we actually use. We exercise the daily path: create accounts, autofill, sync, export/import where it matters, then poke at the edges: renewal pricing, cancellation friction, and support response time. Affiliate relationships are disclosed; they do not decide the verdict.
