## Protect credentials and review what you share

Password and passphrase generators need cryptographically secure randomness. Use a different password for every account and store it in a password manager. Metadata cleanup, visible redaction and content review address different information. Removing a file’s location metadata does not hide a street sign inside the image. Likewise, detecting a name in text is not a guarantee that every identifying detail has been found.

## How to choose your next step

Review both visible content and hidden fields. Keep a separate original if you need to correct an accidental removal, then inspect the exported copy.

## Common questions about privacy tools

### Is hiding text with a colored box enough?

A visual cover can leave the original information in the file. A redaction workflow needs to remove the underlying content and verify the saved result.

### Can automatic suggestions guarantee anonymity?

No. Context, indirect identifiers and missed entities can still identify someone. Use automated suggestions as a review aid and inspect the final output.
