Free Secure Password Generator
Our password generator creates strong, random passwords instantly using cryptographically secure randomness.
Whether you need a password for a new online account, a master password for a password manager, a WiFi key,
or a company login credential, this tool produces results that are effectively uncrackable by brute force.
Everything runs in your browser — we never see your password.
Why Use a Password Generator?
- Humans are predictable. People tend to choose passwords based on names, dates, or
common words — patterns attackers exploit. A generator removes that bias.
- Uniqueness matters. Using a different generated password for every account means a
breach at one site can't compromise the others.
- Length is strength. Every extra character exponentially increases the time needed to
crack a password. Aim for 16+ characters for everyday accounts.
- Character variety. Mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols maximises the pool
of possible characters per position.
How to Generate a Strong Password
- Set your desired length using the slider (4–64 characters). We recommend at least 16.
- Toggle the character sets you need: Uppercase, Lowercase,
Numbers, Symbols.
- Watch the strength meter — aim for "Strong" or "Very Strong".
- Click Generate to create a new password, or just adjust the sliders to auto-refresh.
- Click Copy to copy the result and paste it into your password manager or account form.
How We Measure Password Strength
The strength meter calculates entropy in bits: log₂(pool size) × length. A pool of
95 printable ASCII characters and a length of 16 gives ~104 bits of entropy. At 100 billion guesses per
second — more than any current attacker can sustain — that would take longer than the age of the universe to
crack. The meter rates passwords as Very Weak, Weak, Fair, Strong, or Very Strong based on bit count.
Technical: How Randomness Works
This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the Web Crypto API — instead of
Math.random(). Each character is drawn from your operating system's hardware entropy source
(mouse movements, clock jitter, thermal noise). This makes it cryptographically secure: even
someone who knows the algorithm cannot predict the output without access to your hardware entropy state.
Your generated password is never sent over the network.
🔒 Privacy first. Your password is generated entirely in your browser's RAM. It is never
transmitted, stored, logged, or seen by anyone but you. Close the tab and it's gone.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Is this password generator secure?
Yes. It uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the Web Crypto API
built into every modern browser. The password is generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is
sent to any server, stored in any database, or logged anywhere.
-
How long should my password be?
We recommend at least 16 characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and
symbols — roughly 105 bits of entropy. For high-security accounts or master passwords, use 24–32
characters.
-
Should I use symbols in my password?
Yes, when the site allows it. Symbols expand the character pool from 62 to
95 printable ASCII characters, significantly increasing entropy per character. If a site blocks
symbols, compensate by increasing length.
How strong is my password?
Password strength depends on length and character variety. Read our guide on password entropy and strength to understand the math behind secure passwords.
What's the safest password length?
16 characters or more is the current baseline for strong security. A 16-character password using mixed character types has roughly 95 bits of entropy — computationally infeasible to brute force. For high-value accounts (banking, email), use 20+ characters. This generator supports up to 64 characters.
What does the entropy strength meter mean?
Entropy measures how unpredictable your password is, measured in bits. Below 40 bits is weak; 40–60 bits is moderate; 60–80 bits is strong; 80+ bits is very strong. The meter accounts for length, character set size, and patterns — so 'password123' (despite being 12 chars) scores low because it's a common phrase. A genuinely random 16-char password typically reaches 95+ bits.
Are generated passwords actually random?
Yes. This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues(), a cryptographically secure random number generator. Unlike Math.random(), which produces pseudo-random numbers with a predictable seed, crypto.getRandomValues() is designed for security-sensitive applications and produces output that is effectively impossible to predict or reproduce.
