Password Generator

Generate strong random passwords in your browser. Choose the length and character types, then copy — nothing is ever sent over the network.

Character types

About 129 bits of entropy — Very strong.

How to use the Password Generator

  1. Set the length. Longer is stronger. Sixteen characters or more is a sensible floor.
  2. Pick character types. Turn symbols and numbers on unless the site you are using rejects them.
  3. Copy it. Copy the password and store it in a password manager rather than retyping it.

Frequently asked questions

Are these passwords generated on your server?
No. They are generated locally by your browser using the Web Crypto API. No password is transmitted, logged or stored anywhere, so nothing you see here can leak from this site.
How long should a password be?
Sixteen characters with mixed types is a reasonable minimum today, and twenty or more is better for anything valuable. Length contributes far more strength than exotic character substitutions do.
What does the entropy figure mean?
Entropy measures how many guesses an attacker would need on average, expressed in bits. Each extra bit doubles that number, so 80 bits is roughly a million times harder to crack than 60 bits.
Is a random password better than a memorable phrase?
For anything stored in a password manager, yes, because you never have to recall it. Use a long memorable passphrase only for the few secrets you must type from memory, such as the manager itself.
