Password Generator

Generate strong, random passwords with customizable length and character sets. All generation happens locally in your browser.

Last updated:

Set the length and character sets above to generate a strong, random password. It uses the browser's cryptographic RNG and never leaves your device or gets stored.

What is Password Generator?

A password generator creates random passwords that are far harder to guess or brute-force than anything a human invents. This one draws randomness from the browser's cryptographically secure generator (crypto.getRandomValues) and lets you tune length and character sets — uppercase, lowercase, digits, symbols. Because everything happens locally, generated passwords are never transmitted or saved anywhere.

How to generate a strong password

  1. 1Choose a length — 16+ characters is a solid baseline.
  2. 2Enable the character sets you want (uppercase, lowercase, digits, symbols).
  3. 3Click generate; a new random password appears using secure randomness.
  4. 4Copy it into your password manager, then close the tab.

Use Cases

Create unique account passwords

Generate a distinct strong password for every service so one breach can't cascade.

Make service/API credentials

Produce random secrets for database users, service accounts, and API keys.

Set Wi-Fi and device passphrases

Generate a long random passphrase for a router or IoT device that you store safely.

Code Examples

Example outputs (16 chars)

k7$Rm2!vQx9@Lp3Z
Y#8fW1nD6^tGh0Bs   (store these in a password manager)

Key Concepts

Entropy
A measure of unpredictability in bits. More length and a larger character set mean higher entropy and exponentially more guessing effort.
CSPRNG
A cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues). Unlike Math.random, its output is unpredictable and safe for secrets.
Length beats complexity
Adding characters increases entropy faster than adding symbol types. A long password of only letters can beat a short one with symbols.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use 16+ characters for regular accounts and 20+ for high-value ones; pair with 2FA.
  • Never reuse passwords across sites — store unique ones in a password manager.
  • Length matters more than exotic symbols; a longer password is exponentially stronger.
  • This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues, not Math.random — the latter is predictable and unsafe for secrets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these passwords cryptographically secure?

Yes. The generator uses window.crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator.

How long should my password be?

For most accounts, 16 characters with mixed cases, digits, and symbols is a solid baseline. For high-value accounts, use 20+ characters and enable a second factor (2FA).

Does the tool store passwords?

No. Generated passwords exist only in your browser tab and are lost once you close it. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
