Password Generator

Why use a password generator?

The strongest passwords are long, random and unique. Humans are terrible at creating random passwords — we tend to reuse them, use predictable patterns (like "password123" or a child's birthday), or make them too short. A password generator eliminates these problems by using cryptographic randomness to create passwords that are virtually impossible to guess or crack.

What makes a password strong?

• Length — the single most important factor. A 12-character password takes days to crack; a 16-character password could take centuries.
• Variety — mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols exponentially increases the number of possible combinations.
• Randomness — no words, no patterns, no personal info. Truly random strings are the hardest to guess.
• Uniqueness — never reuse passwords between accounts. If one is leaked, all your accounts stay safe.

How this generator works

Our password generator uses your browser's built-in Web Crypto API (specifically crypto.getRandomValues()) — the same cryptographic source used by banking sites and password managers. This produces true random values, not predictable pseudo-random ones.

You can customize the length (8 to 128 characters) and choose which character types to include. You can also exclude ambiguous characters like l, 1, I, O, 0 to make passwords easier to type manually.

Best practices for password security

• Use at least 16 characters for important accounts (email, banking)
• Store passwords in a reputable password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, etc.) — never in plain text or sticky notes
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible
• Never reuse the same password across multiple sites
• Change passwords immediately if a service reports a data breach

Your privacy

All passwords are generated locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server, nothing is stored, and nothing is logged. You can even disconnect from the internet after loading this page — it will still work perfectly.
