What makes a password strong?

A strong password has four key ingredients: length (longer is always better), variety (mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols), randomness (no words, names, or patterns), and uniqueness (never reused across accounts).

Most people use passwords that are far too predictable. "Password123!" has uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and a symbol — but it's still one of the most commonly breached passwords because it follows a predictable pattern. True randomness is what this tool provides.

New to this? Here's why you need a password generator

Humans are terrible at creating truly random passwords. We gravitate toward words we know, years we remember, and patterns that feel random but aren't. A password generator uses your computer's cryptographic functions to create sequences that have no pattern whatsoever — which is exactly what keeps accounts safe.

Use this tool to create a different strong password for every account you have. Store them in a password manager like Bitwarden (free), 1Password, or your browser's built-in manager.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this password generator safe to use?
Yes. Passwords are generated entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API. Nothing is sent to any server. Once you close the page the passwords are gone — we never see them.
How long should my password be?
At minimum 12 characters for regular accounts, 16+ for important ones like email and banking. With modern computers, an 8-character password can be cracked in hours. A 16-character random password would take billions of years.
Should I use symbols in passwords?
Yes when the site allows it — symbols significantly increase the number of possible combinations. However some sites don't accept certain symbols, which is why the option is toggleable here.
Where should I store my passwords?
In a password manager — not a sticky note, not a text file, and definitely not the same password reused everywhere. Free options include Bitwarden and the built-in managers in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox.
