Password Generator

A strong password is your first line of defense against unauthorized access. Our free password generator creates cryptographically random passwords using your browser's built-in secure random number generator, ensuring each password is truly unpredictable.

**What Makes a Strong Password?**

A strong password should be: long (at least 12 characters), random (not based on dictionary words or personal information), and complex (using a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols). Longer passwords are exponentially stronger — a 20-character password is vastly more secure than an 8-character one.

**How Random Are These Passwords?**

Our generator uses the Web Crypto API's `crypto.getRandomValues()` function, which is a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG). This is the same quality of randomness used in security-sensitive applications like SSL/TLS key generation.

**Password Length Recommendations**

- Website logins: minimum 12 characters
- Email accounts: minimum 16 characters
- Financial accounts: minimum 20 characters
- Master password for a password manager: 24+ characters

**Use a Password Manager**

Strong passwords are hard to remember — and that's fine. Use a password manager like Bitwarden (free and open source), 1Password, or KeePass to store your generated passwords securely. Never reuse passwords across different services.

**Exclude Ambiguous Characters**

Characters like 0 (zero), O (capital o), l (lowercase L), 1 (one), and I (capital i) look similar and can cause confusion when reading passwords aloud or entering them manually. Our tool has an option to exclude these.

**Privacy**

Passwords are generated entirely in your browser. We never see, log, or transmit any generated password.
