Free Password Generator - Create Strong & Secure Passwords Instantly
Generate strong, random passwords for all your accounts with our free online password generator. Create unlimited secure passwords with customizable options.
Why Use a Strong Password?
In today's digital world, using strong passwords is your first line of defense against hackers and identity theft. Weak or reused passwords can lead to:
- Account Takeovers: Hackers can easily guess simple passwords
- Identity Theft: Personal information can be stolen and misused
- Financial Loss: Compromised accounts can lead to unauthorized transactions
- Data Breaches: Weak passwords make it easier to access sensitive data
Our password generator creates cryptographically secure random passwords that are virtually impossible to crack.

How Strong is a Password?
Password strength depends on several factors:
| Factor | Impact | |--------|--------| | Length | Longer = exponentially harder to crack | | Character Variety | More types = more combinations | | Randomness | Random > predictable patterns | | Uniqueness | Different for each account |
Password Length Recommendations
- 8 characters: Minimum acceptable (not recommended)
- 12 characters: Good for most accounts
- 16 characters: Strong for sensitive accounts
- 20+ characters: Excellent for critical accounts

Password Security Tips
Do's ✅
- Use a unique password for each account
- Use a password manager to store your passwords
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) where available
- Update passwords periodically for sensitive accounts
- Use passphrases for passwords you need to remember
Don'ts ❌
- Don't use personal information (birthdays, names, etc.)
- Don't use common words or phrases
- Don't share your passwords with others
- Don't store passwords in plain text files
- Don't use the same password across multiple sites
How Our Generator Works
Our password generator uses the Web Crypto API's crypto.getRandomValues() function to generate cryptographically secure random numbers. This ensures:
- True Randomness: Not pseudo-random like traditional JavaScript
- High Entropy: Maximum unpredictability
- Browser Security: Uses your browser's built-in security features
- No Server Communication: Everything happens locally
Understanding Password Entropy
Password entropy measures the randomness of a password in bits. Higher entropy = stronger password.
Formula: Entropy = Length × log2(Character Pool Size)
| Configuration | Entropy (16 chars) | |--------------|-------------------| | Lowercase only | 75 bits | | Upper + Lower | 91 bits | | Upper + Lower + Numbers | 95 bits | | All characters | 105 bits |
A password with 80+ bits of entropy is considered very secure against brute-force attacks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this password generator safe to use?
Yes! Our password generator runs entirely in your browser. No passwords are sent to any server or stored anywhere. The generation uses cryptographically secure random number generation.
How long should my password be?
We recommend at least 12 characters for regular accounts and 16+ characters for sensitive accounts like banking or email.
Should I include special characters?
Yes, including special characters significantly increases password strength by expanding the character pool.
What's the difference between ambiguous and similar characters?
- Ambiguous: Characters that can be confusing in certain contexts:
{}[]()/\'"\~` - Similar: Characters that look alike and can cause typos:
i, l, 1, L, o, 0, O
Can I use this for creating master passwords?
Yes, but we recommend using a longer password (20+ characters) for master passwords since they protect all your other passwords.
How often should I change my passwords?
Change passwords immediately if there's a breach. Otherwise, focus on using unique, strong passwords rather than frequent changes.
