Disclaimer

Last updated: February 16, 2025

1) General Disclaimer

The information and tools provided by GetPassnow are for general informational and security purposes. While we use industry-standard cryptographic methods, we make no representations or warranties about:

• The absolute security of generated passwords
• Protection against all possible attack vectors
• Compatibility with all systems and requirements
• Uninterrupted availability of the Service

2) No Professional Security Advice

GetPassnow is a tool, not a security consultancy. We do not provide:

• Professional cybersecurity advice
• Security audits or assessments
• Incident response services
• Compliance certifications

For critical security decisions, consult qualified cybersecurity professionals.

3) Password Security is Multi-Layered

A strong password is just one component of security. Complete protection requires:

1. Strong, Unique Passwords (that's where we help)
   • Use our generator for cryptographically secure passwords
   • Never reuse passwords across accounts
   • Aim for 16+ characters with mixed types
2. Two-Factor Authentication (2FA)
   • Use authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy)
   • Hardware keys are even better (YubiKey, Titan)
   • Avoid SMS 2FA when possible (vulnerable to SIM swapping)
3. Password Manager
   • Use Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass, or similar
   • Encrypted storage for all your passwords
   • Auto-fill reduces phishing risk
4. Security Awareness
   • Verify URLs before entering passwords
   • Be cautious of phishing attempts
   • Keep devices and software updated
   • Use HTTPS sites only

4) Technical Limitations

Browser Compatibility: The Service requires a modern browser with Web Crypto API support. Older or heavily modified browsers may not work correctly.

Client-Side Security: Since generation happens in your browser, your device's security directly affects the Service's security. Compromised devices may compromise generated passwords.

No Server-Side Validation: We cannot verify that you're using generated passwords securely or storing them properly.

5) Common Security Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Reusing passwords across accounts
• ❌ Storing passwords in plain text files
• ❌ Sharing passwords via email or messaging
• ❌ Using personal information in passwords
• ❌ Not enabling 2FA when available
• ❌ Falling for phishing attempts
• ❌ Using outdated browsers or operating systems

6) External Links & Third-Party Services

Our documentation may reference external resources or best practices. We are not responsible for:

• Third-party website content or availability
• External security recommendations
• Changes to referenced services or standards

7) No Guarantee of Uninterrupted Service

The Service may experience:

• Scheduled maintenance
• Unexpected technical issues
• Hosting provider outages
• DDoS attacks or abuse

We do not guarantee 100% uptime or availability.

8) Cryptographic Security Context

We use crypto.getRandomValues(), which provides:

• Cryptographically secure random number generation
• Industry-standard methods used by banks and password managers
• Operating system entropy from hardware sources

However, security also depends on:

• Your operating system's CSPRNG quality
• Browser implementation correctness
• No malware on your device
• Secure HTTPS connection

9) Regulatory Compliance

Some industries require specific password policies:

• HIPAA (Healthcare): May require specific password complexity
• PCI DSS (Finance): Mandates certain password standards
• GDPR (EU): Requires appropriate security measures

Verify that generated passwords meet your industry's specific requirements.

10) User Responsibility

You are solely responsible for:

• How you use generated passwords
• Where and how you store them
• Keeping your devices secure
• Complying with applicable laws
• Following your organization's security policies

11) Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer as security best practices evolve or new threats emerge. Check this page periodically for updates.
