Password Generator

Strong, random passwords and passphrases, generated privately in your browser.
Length20

Generated locally with your browser's secure random generator. Nothing is sent or stored.

What this checks

  • Generates random passwords using your browser's cryptographic random number generator (crypto.getRandomValues).
  • Lets you choose the length, 20 characters by default, and which character sets to include: lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols.
  • Leaves out characters that are easy to confuse, such as 0 and O or 1 and l.
  • Offers a passphrase mode that joins capitalised words from a built in list with hyphens and adds a number. Nothing is sent to a server.

Why it matters

People pick passwords that feel random but follow patterns attackers know well: names, years, keyboard runs. A generator removes human bias. For shared accounts in a small office, such as the website admin, the router or the accounting system, a generated password stored in a password manager is far harder to guess than one somebody made up.

How to read the result

  • Random character mode gives the most strength per character. A 20 character password using all four sets is very strong for any account.
  • The passphrase list is short, so each word adds roughly five bits of strength. Passphrases here are easier to type, but for an important account use random mode or a longer passphrase.
  • Turning off character sets reduces strength, so make the password longer to compensate if a system rejects symbols.
  • Every click of regenerate produces a new password; nothing is saved, so copy it into your password manager straight away.

How to fix what it finds

  • Save each generated password in a password manager as soon as you create it.
  • Use a separate generated password for every account, including shared office accounts.
  • Change default passwords on routers, printers, CCTV systems and new software to generated ones on day one.
  • Pair strong passwords with two-factor authentication on email and admin logins.

Questions people ask

Are online password generators safe?

One that generates in your browser with a cryptographic random source, like this one, never sends the password anywhere. Avoid generators that produce passwords on a server you cannot inspect.

Is a passphrase better than a password?

A passphrase built from enough random words from a large word list is strong and easy to remember. This tool's built in list is small, so add more words, or use random mode, for accounts that matter most.

How do I remember a random password?

You should not need to. Store it in a password manager and remember only one strong master passphrase for the manager itself.
