🔒 Security Notes

The password generator utilizes the window.crypto API for generating cryptographically secure random values, which is essential for creating strong and unpredictable passwords. As a client-side application, generated passwords are not transmitted or stored on any server, enhancing user privacy and security. Users are advised to practice good password hygiene, such as using unique passwords for different services and storing them securely.

❓ Troubleshooting

This is a client-side, static web application with no complex dependencies or backend. Therefore, extensive troubleshooting is generally not required.

Issue: The application does not load or function correctly.

• Solution: Ensure you are opening the index.html file directly in a modern web browser. Clear your browser's cache if issues persist. Verify that JavaScript is enabled in your browser settings.
