About the Password Generator

This free password generator creates strong, random passwords entirely inside your browser using the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure random number generator. No password you generate is ever sent to a server, logged, or stored anywhere — closing this tab discards it completely.

Why length matters more than complexity

A password's resistance to brute-force guessing is measured in bits of entropy: length × log2(character pool size). Adding a character type (say, symbols) increases the pool size linearly, but adding characters increases entropy multiplicatively. A 20-character all-lowercase password is typically far stronger than an 8-character password mixing all four character types.

Cryptographically secure randomness

This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues(), the Web Crypto API's source of cryptographically secure pseudo-random numbers — the same class of randomness used for encryption keys — rather than Math.random(), which is not designed to be unpredictable and should never be used to generate passwords or secrets.

Best practices for password management

Use a unique, randomly generated password for every account, and store them in a password manager rather than memorizing or reusing them. Enable two-factor authentication wherever it's offered — it protects you even if a password is ever compromised in a data breach.

Frequently asked questions

Is this password generator safe to use?

Yes. All generation happens locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API. No password is ever transmitted to a server, logged, or stored.

How long should my password be?

NIST SP 800-63B and most security guidance recommend at least 12-16 characters for everyday accounts, and 20+ characters for high-value accounts like your password manager or primary email.

Should I include symbols and numbers?

Mixing character types increases the pool per position, but length matters more for overall entropy. Aim for both: a long password using a mix of character types.

What is password entropy?

Entropy measures unpredictability in bits, calculated as length × log2(pool size). Higher entropy means exponentially more combinations an attacker must try to guess it.
