Password Generator

Looking for a strong random password generator secure? This free tool gives you cryptographically strong random passwords made locally in your browser. Just enter your numbers and press Calculate — results are instant.

How to Use This Password Generator

A strong password is long and unpredictable, and the only practical way to get one is to generate it at random. This tool picks each character at random from upper- and lower-case letters, digits and symbols, using the browser's cryptographic random generator — the same kind of randomness used for security, not the ordinary random used for games. Passwords are generated locally in your browser and never sent anywhere. Make them long (16 characters is a good default) and store them in a password manager.

Formula Used

Each character is picked at random from upper- and lower-case letters, digits and symbols using the browser's cryptographic random generator, so every password is different and unpredictable.

Worked Example

Example: Length 16 · How many: 3

  1. Each character is picked at random from upper- and lower-case letters, digits and symbols.
  2. One press produces three different 16-character passwords — for example, three strings mixing letters, digits and symbols, each 16 characters long.
  3. Press Calculate again and you get three brand-new ones; no two runs are ever the same.

Three different 16-character passwords, freshly generated on every press

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should my password be?

Longer is stronger: 16 characters is a good default, and more is better. Every extra character multiplies the guessing work enormously.

Where should I keep generated passwords?

In a password manager — a tool that stores them encrypted behind one master password. Do not keep them in plain notes or reuse them across sites.

Why must every site have a different password?

Because breaches happen. If one site leaks your password and you used it everywhere, every account is open. Unique passwords contain the damage to one site.
