UUID generator: common questions
Can two UUIDs be the same?
In practice, no. A version 4 UUID has 122 random bits, so you'd need to generate an enormous number before a repeat became at all likely.
Are these safe to use as secrets?
They're made with a cryptographically secure generator, but UUIDs usually get treated as public identifiers and logged. For passwords and API keys, use a tool built for secrets.
What's the difference between UUID and GUID?
They mean the same thing. GUID is the name Microsoft tends to use.
