Password Generator
Create strong, random passwords in your browser. All generation runs locally—nothing is sent to any server.
What is a Password Generator?
A password generator creates random, strong passwords that are hard to guess or crack. Strong passwords use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and are long enough to resist brute-force attacks. This tool runs entirely in your browser—your passwords are never sent to any server.
How to Use This Password Generator
- Set the password length using the slider or number field (8–128 characters).
- Choose which character types to include: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Select at least one.
- Optionally enable "Exclude ambiguous characters" to avoid characters like 0, O, 1, l, and I that are easy to confuse.
- Click "Generate password" to create a new random password.
- Use "Copy" to copy the password to your clipboard, then paste it where you need it.
Tips for Strong Passwords
- Length: Prefer at least 12–16 characters; longer is better when allowed.
- Variety: Use a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
- Uniqueness: Use a different password for each important account.
- Storage: Consider a password manager to store and fill passwords securely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to use an online password generator?
This password generator runs entirely in your browser. The random password is created with your device's cryptographic randomness (crypto.getRandomValues) and is never sent to our servers or any third party. As long as you use it on a trusted device and copy the password only where you intend, it is safe to use.
How long should my password be?
For most accounts, 12–16 characters is a good minimum. For sensitive accounts (email, banking), 16–20 or more is better. Longer passwords with a mix of character types are harder to crack by brute force.
What does "exclude ambiguous characters" mean?
Some characters look similar (e.g., 0 and O, 1 and l). Excluding them reduces confusion when typing or reading the password, especially on printed or small screens. It slightly reduces the character set but can make passwords easier to use correctly.
Can I use this for passphrase-style passwords?
This tool generates random character strings, not word-based passphrases. For passphrases (e.g., "correct-horse-battery-staple"), you would need a different tool. Both approaches can be strong when used with sufficient length and randomness.
