Are online password generators any good ? Have noticed Iobit have one in which you create a password up to 50 characters long ! and they state created passwords are not kept on their servers.

Most of the passwords i create are my own and keep a copy on a usb flash drive just in case i forget or have to re-install Windows and i use Mozilla's built password manager for sites that require logins.

My OS is Windows 10 Pro 2004 version 19041.264 with WIndows Feature Experience Pack 120.2202.130.0 ( whatever this this )

Stay away!

Use your brain instead. Never store passwords on your system unless it is in a heavily encrypted document that you have created, i.e. in Word.
I do not trust Password Managers.

Just IMHO.

For knowing if a site can view your password, it’s tricky since most sites don’t give you a clear answer. A good rule of thumb is to assume that if you didn’t set up the password yourself, the site probably can’t see it.

As for managing passwords, I use a password manager to keep track of them. It securely stores all your passwords and you only need to remember one strong password to access it. I used to carry a flash drive with passwords, but now a password manager on my phone and computer handles it all, making life much easier. Even though this is an old post, these tips might still be helpful!
