General Questions

Basic information about Loginka and our services

Yes, Loginka is 100% free with no hidden costs.

Loginka was created with the belief that password security tools should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their budget. Here's what our "free forever" promise means:

  • No subscriptions: You'll never be asked to sign up for a paid plan
  • No premium features: All tools and features are available to all users
  • No ads or tracking: We don't show ads or track your usage to monetize your data
  • No data selling: We don't collect data, so there's nothing to sell

We maintain Loginka through voluntary support and our commitment to internet security. If you find our tools valuable, consider sharing them with others who might benefit.

Loginka was created by a team of cybersecurity professionals who noticed a problem: most people use weak passwords because good password tools are either too complicated, too expensive, or don't respect user privacy.

Our mission is threefold:

1. Accessibility

Make professional password security tools available to everyone for free

2. Privacy

Process all data locally so users never have to trust us with their passwords

3. Education

Teach people about password security through practical tools and guides

We have over a decade of experience in authentication systems and cybersecurity, and we're committed to helping people protect their online accounts without compromising their privacy.

Yes! Loginka is fully responsive and works on all devices.

Our website is designed to work perfectly on:

Smartphones Tablets Laptops Desktop Computers

Key mobile features:

  • Touch-friendly interface: All buttons and controls are optimized for touch screens
  • Fast loading: Minimal resources needed for quick loading on mobile networks
  • Offline functionality: Once loaded, most tools work without internet connection
  • Mobile-optimized tools: Password generator and analyzer designed for mobile use

You can generate passwords on the go, check password strength while signing up for services on your phone, or use our tools on any device with a modern web browser.

Security & Privacy

How we protect your data and ensure your privacy

No. We never store, collect, or transmit any passwords.

This is the core privacy principle of Loginka. Unlike many online password tools, we process everything locally in your web browser. Here's what this means:

Local Processing

When you generate a password, the JavaScript code runs entirely in your browser. No data is sent to our servers.

No Server Interaction

Our servers only deliver the initial webpage. Once loaded, all password operations happen without contacting our servers.

For specific tools:

  • Password Generator: Randomness is generated locally using your browser's cryptographically secure random number generator
  • Strength Analyzer: Analysis happens entirely in your browser - no password data is transmitted
  • Breach Checker: Uses a local database of compromised passwords - no queries to external servers
  • Password History: Optional history is stored locally in your browser's storage and can be cleared anytime

Security Benefit: Since we don't collect passwords, there's no database that could be breached. We can't leak what we don't have.

We collect minimal information and nothing that can identify you personally. Here's the complete list:

What we collect Purpose Stored
Standard server logs Basic website operation and security 30 days
Dark mode preference Remember your theme choice 1 year
Password history (optional) Store recently generated passwords locally Session only
What we DON'T collect:
  • Passwords (generated or analyzed)
  • Personal information (name, email, etc.)
  • Usage analytics or tracking
  • IP addresses (beyond standard server logs)
  • Location data

Since we don't require registration or login, we have no way to link any website usage to individual users. You're completely anonymous when using Loginka.

Our password generator uses cryptographically secure random number generation.

We use your browser's built-in crypto.getRandomValues() API, which is designed for cryptographic applications. Here's why this matters:

Cryptographically Secure

The random numbers are unpredictable and suitable for security-sensitive applications

No Patterns

Passwords have no predictable patterns that could be guessed

Browser Native

Uses your browser's secure random source, not our own implementation

Entropy Source

Draws from multiple entropy sources in your device for true randomness

For comparison:

Method Security Level Used by Loginka
Math.random() Not secure
crypto.getRandomValues() Cryptographically secure

The passwords generated are as secure as those generated by professional password managers and banking applications. For maximum security, we recommend passwords of at least 16 characters with mixed character types.

Tools & Features

How to use our password security tools effectively

For maximum security, we recommend these settings in our password generator:

Length Settings
Minimum 12 characters
Recommended 16-20 characters
Maximum security 24+ characters
Character Types
Uppercase letters (A-Z)
Lowercase letters (a-z)
Numbers (0-9)
Symbols (!@#$% etc.)

Pro tips for using the generator:

  • Different passwords for different accounts: Never reuse passwords across multiple websites
  • Copy directly to clipboard: Use the "Copy to Clipboard" button to avoid typing errors
  • Check website requirements: Some sites have specific rules (no symbols, max length, etc.)
  • Use password history: Our optional history feature lets you revisit recently generated passwords
  • Generate multiple options: Click "Generate" multiple times to choose a password you're comfortable with

Remember: The strength indicator shows how secure your generated password is. Aim for "Very Strong" for important accounts like email and banking.

Our password strength analyzer evaluates passwords based on multiple security factors used by cybersecurity professionals:

Factor Weight Description
Length 40% Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack
Character Variety 30% Mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
Pattern Avoidance 20% Checks for sequences, dictionary words, and common patterns
Uniqueness 10% Checks against known compromised passwords

The analyzer provides:

Strength Score

0-100 score with color-coded indicators (red to green)

Estimated Crack Time

Based on brute-force attacks at 10 billion guesses/second

Improvement Tips

Specific suggestions to strengthen weak passwords

Important: No strength analyzer can guarantee a password is uncrackable. Our tool provides an estimate based on current best practices. Always use the strongest password practical for each account.

For the most accurate assessment, enter your actual password (not a similar one). The analysis happens locally in your browser, so your password remains private.

Our breach checker uses a local database of the most common compromised passwords. Here's how it works:

Local Database Approach

We maintain a curated list of the top 10,000+ most commonly breached passwords from publicly available data breach collections. This database is embedded in the webpage and never transmits your password anywhere.

When you check a password:

  1. You enter your password in the breach checker tool
  2. JavaScript compares it against our local database of compromised passwords
  3. The comparison happens entirely in your browser
  4. No data is sent to our servers or any third party
  5. You get an instant result showing if your password is in the common breach list

Privacy Benefit: Since the check happens locally, we never see your password, and there's no network transmission that could be intercepted.

Limitations to understand:
  • We only check against common passwords, not all possible breaches
  • If your password isn't in our list, it doesn't guarantee it's never been breached
  • For comprehensive breach checking, consider services like HaveIBeenPwned (which use different methods)

Our breach checker is designed as a quick safety check, especially useful for catching passwords that are known to be commonly used and frequently breached.

Complete analysis works without internet

Breach Checker

Works with local database (no server queries)

Vault Simulator

Complete simulation works offline

To use Loginka offline:

  1. Visit loginka.com while you have internet connection
