Password Generator
Generate strong, secure passwords with custom rules
Password Generator creates cryptographically random passwords using the character sets you choose (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) at whatever length you need. Your chosen options are sent to our servers to generate the password, which is returned to you and not logged or stored.
How to use Password Generator
- 1
Set your desired password length.
- 2
Choose which character types to include — uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols.
- 3
Click generate to create a new random password.
- 4
Copy it to your clipboard and store it in a password manager.
Everything you need to know about strong passwords
What actually makes a password strong?
Strength comes primarily from length and randomness, not from a clever pattern only you'd think of. A password's resistance to a brute-force attack grows exponentially with each additional character — a longer password with fewer character types can be stronger than a shorter one stuffed with symbols, because raw length matters more than complexity once you're past a reasonable minimum.
Common password mistakes
- Reusing the same password across multiple accounts — one breached site then compromises every other account using it.
- Predictable substitutions — swapping "a" for "@" or adding "123!" at the end is well known to password-cracking tools and adds far less strength than people assume.
- Personal information — names, birthdates, and pet names are among the first things attackers try.
- Short passwords, even complex ones — an 8-character password with symbols is weaker than a 16-character password without them.
How long should a password actually be?
| Length | General guidance |
|---|---|
| Under 12 characters | Vulnerable to modern brute-force attacks regardless of complexity |
| 12–16 characters | A reasonable minimum for most accounts today |
| 16+ characters | Strongly recommended for anything sensitive (email, banking, password manager master password) |
Why you need a password manager, not memory
Using a unique, random password for every account is only realistic with a password manager doing the remembering — trying to memorize dozens of truly random strings leads people back to reuse or predictable patterns. Generate a password here, save it directly into your password manager, and let it autofill from then on.
Passwords vs. passphrases
A passphrase (several random unrelated words strung together, like "correct horse battery staple") is a legitimate alternative to a random character string, and can be easier to type on a device without a password manager — but it needs to be genuinely long (several words) and genuinely random, not a memorable quote or lyric, which defeats the purpose entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long should my password be?
At least 12–16 characters with a mix of character types for most accounts; longer is better, and length matters more than complexity for resisting brute-force attacks.
Is the generated password sent to your servers?
The password is generated on our servers and sent back to you over an encrypted connection; it isn't logged or stored anywhere.
Should I reuse a generated password across sites?
No — use a unique password per account (ideally stored in a password manager) so a breach on one site can't compromise your other accounts.
Can I exclude ambiguous characters like 0/O or 1/l?
Yes — toggle that option on if you need to type the password manually and want to avoid easily-confused characters.
Is length or complexity more important?
Length matters more. A longer password with fewer character types generally resists brute-force attacks better than a shorter, highly complex one — aim for at least 12–16 characters.
What's a passphrase, and is it a good alternative?
Several random, unrelated words strung together (not a memorable quote or lyric). It can work well if it's genuinely long and random — but a purely random character string is generally stronger for the same length.
