Password Generator

Generate strong, cryptographically secure random passwords. Choose length, character sets, and quantity — or use a memorable passphrase. Everything runs in your browser using the Web Crypto API. No passwords are ever transmitted to a server.

What makes a strong password?

Password entropy — the real measure of strength

A password's strength is measured in bits of entropy — a mathematical measure of how unpredictable it is. Each bit of entropy doubles the number of guesses an attacker needs to try. A 20-character password using all character sets (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) has roughly 130 bits of entropy, making brute-force attacks computationally infeasible even with the most powerful hardware available today.

Length matters more than complexity. A 20-character lowercase-only password is far harder to crack than an 8-character password with special characters. The best strategy is to use both: long passwords with a diverse character set. This generator uses the browser's crypto.getRandomValues() API to ensure cryptographically secure randomness — the same quality of randomness used in encryption keys.

Password best practices
  • Use at least 16 characters — preferably 20+
  • Never reuse a password across different sites
  • Store passwords in a trusted password manager
  • Enable 2FA on every account that supports it
100% private & client-side
  • Uses crypto.getRandomValues() — CSPRNG
  • Zero data transmitted to any server
  • Same randomness quality as encryption keys
  • Works offline after initial page load
How to use this tool
  • Drag the slider to set your desired length
  • Toggle character sets and optional filters
  • Click Generate — results appear instantly
  • Copy all to clipboard or download as .txt
Entropy guide
  • <40 bits — Very weak, avoid
  • 40–60 bits — Moderate, acceptable for low-risk
  • 60–100 bits — Strong, suitable for most accounts
  • 100+ bits — Very strong, recommended
Password managers
  • Store generated passwords in a manager like Bitwarden or 1Password
  • Use a unique password for every account — no reuse
  • Enable 2FA alongside strong passwords for best protection
  • Regularly audit saved passwords for compromised entries
Passphrases vs. passwords
  • Passphrases use random words — easier to remember
  • 4+ random words can provide 50–80 bits of entropy
  • Random character strings offer the highest density per length
  • Use this generator for both approaches — copy and store securely

Why random generation matters — and what to avoid

Humans are notoriously bad at creating truly random passwords. We rely on patterns — keyboard walks like qwerty123, predictable substitutions like p@ssw0rd, or personal information like birthdays and pet names. Attackers know all of these patterns and factor them into their cracking strategies. A password that feels random to you is often far less random than a string generated by a cryptographically secure random number generator.

This tool uses your browser's crypto.getRandomValues() API — the same cryptographic randomness used by security software — to generate passwords. Each character is selected independently with uniform probability from the chosen character set. The result is a password with the maximum possible entropy for its length, and no predictable patterns an attacker could exploit. Never generate passwords with tools that send data to a server; always verify that generation is truly client-side.
