How to Use the Password Generator

  1. Set your desired password length with the slider (16+ recommended).
  2. Choose whether to include numbers and symbols.
  3. Click 'Generate New' for a fresh cryptographically-random password.
  4. Copy it and store it in a password manager.

Why Use Our Password Generator?

Common Use Cases

Password Generator vs Alternatives

Bottom line: the gold standard is a password manager holding a unique generated password per site. This page is the fastest way to create one of those passwords without installing anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should my password be?
At least 16 characters for important accounts. Every extra character multiplies the guessing effort enormously.
Are generated passwords truly random?
Yes — the tool uses the Web Crypto API's secure random generator, the same primitive browsers use for TLS.
Should I use the same password everywhere?
Never. Use a unique generated password per site and store them in a reputable password manager.
Do you store my passwords?
No. Generation happens in your browser and nothing is sent or saved anywhere.
What is password entropy?
A measure of unpredictability in bits. 80+ bits is effectively uncrackable by brute force with current technology.
Is it safe to use an online password generator?
It depends on where the password is created. This generator runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API — nothing travels over the network, so no one can intercept or log it. As a rule, never use a generator that sends your password to a server or requires an account to generate one.
How long should a password be in 2026?
At least 16 characters for important accounts. A 16-character password from this generator's full character set carries about 102 bits of entropy — far beyond brute-force reach with any current technology.
What is the difference between a password and a passphrase?
A passphrase is several random words strung together ('correct horse battery staple' style). Passphrases are easier to type and remember but carry less entropy per character than a random string. Both beat any human-invented password; use random strings when typing isn't a concern.
How long would it take to crack a 16-character generated password?
Effectively never by brute force — 84¹⁶ combinations would take hundreds of billions of years even for supercomputers. Real account takeovers happen through phishing, password reuse, and database leaks, not brute force — which is why a unique password per site matters more than extra length.
Should I change my passwords regularly?
No. Current NIST guidance says forced rotation pushes people toward weaker, predictable passwords. Change a password only when there's evidence it's been compromised, and use a unique generated password for every site instead.
Can I generate a password without symbols?
Yes — uncheck 'Symbols' (and 'Numbers' if you like). Some older sites, routers, and Wi-Fi setups reject special characters; a longer letters-only password still carries strong entropy.
