    Competitor details verified 11 June 2026. Breach Check (HIBP) reflects per-password k-anonymous hash checking on the generator, not email-based dark web monitoring. Bitwarden Exposed Passwords report (HIBP) requires a paid plan. Verify current pricing and features at 1password.com/pricing, lastpass.com/pricing, and bitwarden.com/pricing.

    Honest Limitations

    • •Generator only, NOT a password manager
    • •HIBP breach check uses external API (with k-Anonymity)
    • •Browser-based only, no desktop app
    • •No password storage or sync features

    Fair Competitor Note

    • •Bitwarden is an excellent free, open-source password manager
    • •1Password offers superior UX and enterprise features
    • •For password management, we recommend these trusted tools
    • •iForge Apps focuses on generation + breach checking only

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How does Forge Password compare to 1Password?
    1Password Individual is a paid plan (currently $3.99/month billed annually, as of June 2026). Verify current pricing at 1password.com before buying. Forge Password is a free generator with HIBP breach checking included. If you need password storage and sync across devices, 1Password is a strong choice. For quick, secure password generation with breach checking, Forge is free and instant.
    Is the breach check really private?
    Yes. We use the Have I Been Pwned k-Anonymity model. Only the first 5 characters of your password's SHA-1 hash are sent to HIBP. Your actual password is never transmitted. This is the same privacy-preserving method used by 1Password.
    What is the EFF Long Wordlist?
    The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) Long Wordlist contains 7,776 carefully selected words optimised for passphrases. Each word provides ~12.9 bits of entropy. A 6-word passphrase gives you ~77 bits of entropy, making it extremely secure and memorable.
    Why isn't this a password manager?
    Forge Password is a generator, not a manager. We focus on doing one thing extremely well: generating cryptographically secure passwords with breach checking. For password storage, we recommend Bitwarden (free, open-source) or 1Password.
    How secure is crypto.getRandomValues?
    Very secure. crypto.getRandomValues is the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure random number generator. It's used by browsers for TLS/SSL and is considered suitable for generating cryptographic keys.
