(03) — FAQ
Short answers.
- Is this a secret?
- No. A UUID v4 is a random identifier, not a password. Use the password generator for secrets.
- Why version 4?
- v4 is purely random (version nibble 4, RFC 4122 variant). No MAC or clock in the ID.
- Is anything sent to a server?
- No. Generation is local.
- What is a UUID?
- A UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) is a 128-bit identifier written as 32 hexadecimal characters grouped 8-4-4-4-12. It is used as a primary key, a test session ID or a cross-system reference without central coordination.
- Can two UUID v4 values be identical?
- In theory yes, in practice the probability is negligible: 122 of the 128 bits are random. If uniqueness is critical (database key), still add a uniqueness constraint.
