Password Generator
Generate secure, random passwords with customizable options to keep your accounts safe.
Level 1: lowercase only; Level 2: adds numbers; Level 3: adds uppercase; Level 4+: progressively more special characters up to level 10.
How the Password Generator Works
Every password is created entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API - specifically crypto.getRandomValues(), which is cryptographically secure. Your passwords never travel over the network and are never stored on our servers.
1. Pick a length
Use the length slider to choose between 8 and 64 characters. For most online accounts, 16 characters is a strong minimum; 20+ is recommended for anything that protects sensitive data.
2. Pick a difficulty level
The difficulty slider controls which character pools are used. Higher levels add numbers, uppercase letters, and special characters, which dramatically increases the number of possible combinations an attacker would have to try.
3. Generate and copy
A new password is generated automatically as you adjust the settings. Press R to regenerate or C to copy. Paste it into the account you are securing and store it in a password manager so you do not have to remember it.
Why strong, random passwords matter
Most account breaches trace back to weak or reused passwords. A strong password is long, unpredictable, and unique to a single account.
- Length beats complexity
- A 20-character lowercase password has more possible combinations than a 10-character password made of every printable symbol. Length is the single biggest factor in resisting brute-force attacks.
- Randomness beats cleverness
- Passwords based on names, dates, or common substitutions (like "P@ssw0rd") are guessed first. A random generator produces strings with no pattern, so attackers cannot narrow the search space.
- Unique per account
- When a service is breached, attackers try the leaked passwords against every other site. Using a unique password per account stops one breach from cascading into all your accounts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this password generator really secure?
Yes. All passwords are generated locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API, which provides cryptographically secure random values. The generated password is never sent over the network or stored on our servers.
How long should my password be?
For most accounts, 16 characters is a strong baseline. For sensitive accounts (email, banking, password manager master passwords), use 20 or more. Longer is always better as long as the service accepts it.
What difficulty level should I choose?
Level 7 and above include uppercase, numbers, and special characters, which is appropriate for most services. Use the highest level the target service accepts. If a service rejects special characters, lower the difficulty rather than shortening the password.
Do you store the passwords I generate?
No. The tool runs entirely in your browser. No password is sent to our servers, logged, or saved. If you close the tab, the password is gone - copy it to your password manager first.
Why not use a memorable password instead?
Memorable passwords follow patterns (real words, common substitutions, personal info) that attackers can exploit. A random generated password resists this. Store it in a password manager so you do not have to memorize it.
Can I use the same password for multiple accounts?
No. When any one service is breached, attackers try the leaked password against every major site. A unique password per account contains the damage to that single service.
