Password Generator
Generate secure passwords
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a generated password be?
Minimum 12 characters, recommended 16+. Each additional character exponentially increases security. 8 characters: crackable in hours. 12 characters: centuries. 16 characters: effectively unbreakable. The generator creates passwords of any specified length.
What characters should a strong password include?
Use all four types: uppercase (A-Z), lowercase (a-z), digits (0-9), and symbols (!@#$%^&*). A 16-character password using all types has about 105 bits of entropy. The generator lets you select which character types to include.
How do I generate a memorable but secure password?
Use the passphrase option: 4-6 random words separated by hyphens or numbers. "correct-horse-battery-staple" style. Add a number and symbol for extra strength. Passphrases are easier to type and remember while maintaining high entropy.
Should I use a different password for every account?
Yes, always. If one site is breached, unique passwords prevent attackers from accessing your other accounts. Use a password manager to store them. The generator creates unique passwords for each account. Never reuse passwords across sites.
How does the password generator ensure randomness?
The tool uses a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) built into your browser. This is the same type of randomness used for encryption keys. It produces unpredictable output that cannot be reproduced or guessed.
