Password Generator
Use this free password generator to create strong, random passwords right in your browser.
What Is a Password Generator?
A password generator creates random passwords that are hard to guess or crack. Because humans tend to choose predictable passwords, a strong password generator is one of the easiest ways to protect your email, bank, shopping and social accounts. This tool builds each password in your browser, so it is never sent to a server.
How to Use This Password Generator
Pick a length, choose which character types to include and a new password appears instantly. Change any setting to get another one. Copy it into a password manager right away. The tool guarantees at least one character from every type you select.
How Long Should a Password Be?
Length matters more than complexity. A 12-character password is a reasonable minimum, and 16 characters or more is better for important accounts such as email and banking. The strength rating shows the entropy in bits. Above 80 bits is strong, and above 100 is excellent.
What Makes a Password Strong?
- Random characters, not words, names or dates.
- A unique password for every account.
- Enough length to resist guessing attacks.
Security guidance from NIST emphasizes length and checking passwords against known breach lists over forced complexity rules.
Password Safety Tips
Use a reputable password manager to store your passwords so you do not need to remember them. Turn on two-factor authentication wherever it is offered. Never share passwords by email or text and never reuse them across sites. Change a password right away if a service reports a breach.
Why Avoid Look-Alike Characters?
Characters such as O, 0, l, 1 and I are easy to misread. The option to avoid them helps when you must type a password by hand, for example on a TV or a printed Wi-Fi card.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use an online password generator?
It is safe when generation happens in your browser, as it does here, and you do not reuse the result elsewhere.
Should I use symbols?
Symbols increase strength, but some sites limit them. Turn them off if a site rejects your password.
How often should I change passwords?
Change them if you suspect a breach. Otherwise a long unique password does not need frequent changes.
