Password Generator

Generate strong, random passwords with custom length and character sets.

Create random passwords that are much harder to guess or crack. Pick your length, choose which character types to include and generate as many as you need. Everything happens in your browser using the Web Crypto API. No passwords are ever sent to a server.

What Actually Makes a Password Strong?

Length is king - This matters more than anything else. A 16-character random password is much harder to crack than an 8-character one with a few symbol swaps.
True randomness - "P@ssw0rd!" looks complex but it follows a pattern attackers know. Password cracking tools try common substitutions first. A random string like "kR7$mP2xL9@qW4" is far stronger.
No reuse - Password leaks hurt most when the same password works on more than one site. One exposed login should not unlock your email, banking and work accounts.
Character variety - Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols when a site allows it. Variety helps, but length still does most of the work.

How Long Should Your Password Be?

The answer has changed over the years. Here is a practical way to think about it:

8 characters - Too short for anything important.
12 characters - Better, but still the minimum for low-risk accounts.
16 characters - A strong default for most logins.
20+ characters - Better for your email, banking and password manager master password.

Passphrases: The Alternative

If you need to type a password from memory, consider a passphrase. Four to six random, unrelated words are easier to remember than a symbol-heavy string and still give you useful length. Do not use a famous quote, song lyric or personal phrase. Pick words that do not naturally belong together.

Use a Password Manager When You Can

Most people cannot remember unique 16-character random passwords for every account. That is what password managers are for. Let the manager generate and store your passwords. You only need to remember one strong master password.

How to Use

Set your desired password length (16 characters or more is recommended).
Toggle which character types to include - uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols.
Click Generate to create a random password.
Copy it and save it in your password manager.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the Password Generator?

Choose length and character types, then generate a password. Save it in a trusted password manager. Do not send new passwords through chat, email or shared documents.

How long should a password be?

Use at least 16 characters for most accounts. Longer is better for important accounts. If you use a passphrase, choose words that are not personal or easy to guess.

Are passphrases better than random passwords?

Passphrases are easier to type and remember. Random passwords are usually stronger when stored in a password manager. The best choice depends on whether you need to remember it yourself.

Should I reuse a strong password?

No. Reuse is dangerous because one leaked site can expose many accounts. Use a different password for each important login. A password manager makes this much easier to maintain.

Can I use this for Wi-Fi passwords?

Yes. Use a long password and avoid words people can guess from your home, name or business. Save it somewhere safe so you do not have to weaken it later.
