Disclaimer
Important information about the nature of our content, tools, and the limits of our responsibility.
General Disclaimer
The information provided by SwitchFirewall on switchfirewall.com and its subdomains (including password.switchfirewall.com) is for general educational and informational purposes only. All information is provided in good faith; however, we make no representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, regarding the accuracy, adequacy, validity, reliability, availability, or completeness of any information on our site.
Under no circumstance shall we have any liability to you for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of our site or reliance on any information provided on our site. Your use of our site and your reliance on any information on our site is solely at your own risk.
Security Tools Disclaimer
The security tools available on SwitchFirewall — including the password generator, breach checker, strength analyzer, PIN generator, passphrase generator, and memorable password converter — are provided as free utilities to assist users in improving their password hygiene.
These tools are provided "as is" with the following important limitations:
- No guarantee of security — a generated password or passphrase meeting common strength criteria does not guarantee it cannot be compromised. Security is multi-layered and no single tool can guarantee safety.
- Strength estimates are approximations — crack time estimates are theoretical calculations based on common attack models. Real-world attack capabilities vary significantly.
- Breach check completeness — the breach database (HaveIBeenPwned) is comprehensive but may not include all known breaches. A "not found" result does not guarantee a password is safe to use.
- No substitute for professional security — for enterprise, critical infrastructure, or high-security environments, consult a qualified cybersecurity professional.
- Browser dependency — tools rely on your browser's cryptographic APIs. While modern browsers are robust, we cannot guarantee identical behaviour across all browser versions and configurations.
Content Accuracy
Network security is a rapidly evolving field. While we strive to keep our articles and configuration guides accurate and current, information can become outdated as vendors release updates, vulnerabilities are discovered, and best practices evolve.
Always verify configuration guidance against the official documentation of the vendor or product you are working with. Article publication and last-updated dates are provided where possible to help you assess the relevance of content to your situation.
If you spot an error or outdated information, please contact us at switchfirewall.@gmail.com — we take accuracy seriously and will investigate promptly.
No Professional Advice
Nothing on SwitchFirewall constitutes professional cybersecurity, legal, or technical advice. Our content is educational in nature and intended to help you understand concepts and options — not to replace the advice of a qualified professional.
For critical security decisions involving personal data, financial systems, healthcare records, or other sensitive environments, we strongly recommend engaging a certified security professional (such as a CISSP, CEH, or equivalent).
