Practical example
For a password manager entry, generate at least 16 random characters and save it directly instead of adapting a memorable phrase by hand.

What is a password generator?
A password generator creates random passwords that are harder to guess and more secure than manually chosen passwords.
This tool helps you generate strong passwords with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols directly in your browser.
How to use the Password Generator
- Choose the password length.
- Select which character groups to include.
- Click Generate password.
- Copy the result and use it in your account or password manager.
Tips
- Longer passwords are usually stronger than shorter ones.
- Using multiple character groups improves password complexity.
- Store generated passwords in a password manager.
- Avoid reusing the same password across multiple sites.
Password policy checks
Length first
Long passwords are usually more reliable than short complex ones. Use the longest password the target system accepts.
Unique per account
Generate a different password for every account, service, database, integration, and shared admin login.
Manager storage
Copy generated passwords into a password manager immediately so they are not left in notes, chat, or browser history.
System limits
Some legacy systems reject certain symbols or long strings. Match the generator settings to the real password policy.
Password checks before creating or storing a credential
Strength comes from unpredictable generation and sufficient length, while safe storage and unique use protect the credential afterward.
Length first
Prefer a longer random password over short complexity tricks, while meeting the target service's supported characters and maximum length.
Unique per account
Generate a different credential for every service so one database breach cannot unlock unrelated accounts.
Store safely
Save generated credentials in a trusted password manager and avoid plaintext notes, source code, tickets, email, or chat.
Account recovery
Enable MFA, store recovery codes securely, and verify the recovery path before depending on a newly generated password.
A practical example, an edge case, and a maintainer note
Edge case
Some legacy forms silently truncate passwords or reject symbols, reducing the real search space despite a strong generated value.
Maintainer note
Unique passwords plus MFA are the baseline. Rotation does not help if the replacement is predictable or reused elsewhere.

Password Generator FAQ
Is my generated password sent to the server?
No. Passwords are generated with crypto.getRandomValues in your browser and are never sent, stored, or logged — close the tab and they are gone.
What password length is recommended?
For most accounts, 12–16 characters is a solid minimum. Longer is generally better.
Why exclude similar-looking characters?
It helps avoid confusion between characters like O and 0, or l and 1.
