I need a memorable master password but I hesitate to use an online password generator, How secure using 1Password's online password generator? Does 1Password store generated passwords on their server? is it fully private?

    The password isn't generated on the web servers. It's generated by a small Javascript app locally running in your browser. It never leaves your machine. If you use the "Inspect" function of the Chrome browser while generating a password, you see there is no web server access for generating a password.

    @Tertius3 so it's secure and private and I can pick a generated passphrase from 1Password's online password generator to use as a master password, right?

    Hello @Flux0! 👋

    The 1Password password generator is indeed safe to use as @Tertius3 mentioned. Any password that you generate using the password generator will be created on your device and won't be transmitted to, or stored on, our servers.

    If you're creating an account password for your 1Password account then I recommend following the advice in our guide: How to choose a good 1Password account password

    Let me know if you have any questions. 🙂
