Password Generator
Create secure, random passwords to protect your accounts
What Makes a Strong Password?
A strong password is your first line of defense against unauthorized access to your accounts. Here's what makes a password secure:
- Length: At least 12-16 characters. Longer is always better.
- Complexity: Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.
- Unpredictability: Avoid dictionary words, personal information, or common patterns.
- Uniqueness: Never reuse passwords across different accounts.
- Randomness: Use a password generator like this one to create truly random passwords.
Our password generator uses cryptographically secure random number generation to create passwords that are virtually impossible to guess or crack through brute force attacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should my password be?
We recommend at least 12-16 characters for most accounts. For sensitive accounts like banking or email, use 20+ characters. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack.
Is this password generator secure?
Yes. We use the browser's crypto.getRandomValues() API, which generates cryptographically secure random numbers. Passwords are generated locally in your browser and never sent to any server.
Should I include special characters?
Yes. Including special characters (!@#$%^&*) significantly increases password complexity and makes it harder to crack. Most modern systems support special characters in passwords.
