Who writes our content
Our guides are produced by the PasswordMake Editorial Team — writers and reviewers who focus on password security, passphrases, password managers, two-factor authentication, and online account safety. We write for everyday users, not security professionals, so our priority is making topics like entropy, credential stuffing, and 2FA genuinely easy to understand.
How we research and verify
Every guide follows the same process before it is published:
- Security claims are checked against primary sources such as NIST SP 800-63B and published breach disclosures.
- Entropy figures and worked examples are recalculated to confirm the numbers are correct.
- We cite the reasoning behind a recommendation rather than asking you to take it on faith.
- Guides are reviewed for clarity and updated when standards, threats, or best practices change.
Our independence
PasswordMake is free to use and supported by advertising. Ads never influence the content of our guides. We do not sell security products, and we are not paid to recommend any specific password manager, authenticator app, or hardware key. When we name a tool, it is because it is widely respected, not because anyone paid for the mention.
This is education, not security advice
Our content is for general educational purposes. It does not account for your personal threat model and is not a substitute for advice from a qualified security professional. Always evaluate your own risks before making decisions about how you protect your accounts.
