Phasing out hosting server after (almost) 10 years
After having been running steadily on the previous server for almost ten(!) years, it became time to retire that machine. So, ManyTools has now been moved to a shiny new hosting cluster. You may/should notice some speed improvements. In case you notice any problems or irregularities I’d be happy if you notify me so I can check on them.

Exit Coinhive (in-browser bitcoin mining)
Thank you for your feedback on our (brief) test with browser based bitcoin mining. This seemed like a nice way to support this website, but turned out to be far too much of a burden to our visitors. So we’ve decided to remove it. Our apologies for the inconvenience it has caused.

Migrated to HTTPS
Happy to inform that Manytools is now fully Chrome-62-ready, thanks Google! A secure connection had been due for a very long time. Today we finally got around to upgrading the site to run on HTTPS. – (Starting October 2017, Chrome (version 62) will show a “NOT SECURE” warning when users enter text in a form on an HTTP page, and for all HTTP pages in Incognito mode.)

Resist hacks by using Dashlane’s password generator tool
Use Dashlane as a business password manager or a personal password manager to securely generate and remember strong, unique passwords for each and every one of your accounts.
What is a password generator?
A password generator is a tool that automatically generates a password based on guidelines that you set to create strong and unpredictable passwords for each of your accounts.
Good password generators do the following:
- Adjust guidelines to fit different sites’ unique password requirements
- Generate strong, random passwords using secure technology with built-in randomness
- Are integrated into a password manager like Dashlane to create, manage, and easily use all of your strong passwords
What’s a strong password anyway?
Long: The longer a password, the more secure it is. A strong password should be at least 12 characters long.
Random: Random passwords use a combination of letters, numbers, cases, and symbols to form an unpredictable string of characters that doesn’t resemble words or names.
Unique: A strong password should be unique to each account to reduce vulnerability in the event of a hack.

How do password generators work?
Password generators use algorithms to create random passwords based on a combination of characters, numbers, and symbols to generate strong and secure passwords. They ensure that passwords are difficult to guess and enhance online security.
How do I generate a strong password with Dashlane?
Generating a strong password with Dashlane’s password generator is easy. Simply customize the settings according to your preferences, such as password length, character types, and special symbols. As you modify your requirements, Dashlane automatically generates a strong password that meets your criteria. Random passwords are easy with Dashlane!
Is Dashlane’s Password Generator safe to use?
Yes, it is safe to use due to how truly random the generated passwords are. The most important thing about a password generator is the flexibility and customization to create really random passwords. Dashlane allows different options for the user such as the ability to limit them by letters, digits, and symbols but also to avoid similar characters.
For signed in users our generator follows industry-standard encryption protocols and generates passwords locally on your device, ensuring that your password is not shared or stored by Dashlane. If you are a Dashlane user and you save your passwords in Dashlane, your generated random password is encrypted and protected with your Dashlane master password.
How often should I change my password?
It is generally recommended to change your password regularly, ideally every 3-6 months, but this becomes less necessary if you’re using random, strong passwords. Regular password changes help mitigate the risk of unauthorized access and maintain the security of your accounts. However, if you suspect a security breach or if you receive a notification about a compromised service, it is advisable to change your password immediately.
How can I protect my passwords?
- Use a password manager like Dashlane, with a built in password generator, to securely generate, store and manage your passwords. Try Dashlane now!
- Create unique and complex passwords with a strong password generator for each online account.
- Enable two-factor authentication whenever possible.
- Regularly update your devices and software to ensure security patches are in place.
- Be cautious of phishing attempts and avoid sharing your passwords with anyone. A secure password is a safe password.
What are the most common password mistakes?
- Using simple and easily guessable weak passwords like “password123” or “123456” for login credentials.
- Reusing the same password across multiple accounts, which increases the risk if one account is compromised.
- Using personal information such as names, birthdates, or phone numbers in passwords.
- Neglecting to change default passwords provided by devices or services.
- Use best practices when sharing. Use a platform that allows for easy password management – one that is encrypted and uses autofill to safely share passwords, secure notes and credit cards. With autofill there is no need to use online communication platforms or paper notes to share passwords or secure information with friends, family or coworkers.
- Writing down passwords or storing them in unsecured locations is the opposite of ensuring you have a secure password.
- Ignoring notification of data breaches and not changing leaked passwords.
