Choose your secret type from the tabs, configure the generation options, and click generate. For validation, switch to the validate tab and enter your existing secret to check its strength.
Why Secrets Management Matters
Proper secrets management is crucial for application security. Weak passwords and predictable API keys are common attack vectors. This tool helps generate cryptographically secure secrets and validate existing ones.
Best Practices for Secrets
- Use different secrets for different environments (dev, staging, prod)
- Rotate secrets regularly, especially API keys and tokens
- Never hardcode secrets in your source code
- Use environment variables or dedicated secret management services
- Implement proper access controls for secret storage

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Are the generated secrets truly random?
Yes, this tool uses cryptographically secure random number generation provided by your browser's Web Crypto API when available.
Q. Should I use special characters in passwords?
Yes, special characters significantly increase password strength by expanding the character set, making brute force attacks much more difficult.
Q. How often should I rotate API keys?
Best practice is to rotate API keys every 90 days, or immediately if you suspect they may have been compromised.
Q. What makes a JWT token secure?
JWT security depends on the signing algorithm and secret key strength. Always use strong secrets (256+ bits) and secure signing algorithms like HS256 or RS256.
