How to use the Password Generator
Enter the length and how many and the result appears straight away. Everything runs in your browser, so nothing you type is uploaded.
How it works
Characters are chosen with the browser's cryptographically secure random generator.
Examples
- A 16-character password with symbols (sample result)
ljTVKIQz?2j:Fh)E
- Letters and digits only, 20 characters (sample result)
6kHk3m5mwvCMdN7ti6lo Strength: about 119 bits of entropy (62 possible characters)
Limitations and assumptions
Generated locally and never sent anywhere. Use a password manager to store passwords.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a password be?
At least 14 to 16 characters for important accounts. Length matters more than complexity.
Is it safe to generate a password online?
Here the password is made in your browser and never leaves your device.
Should I reuse passwords?
No. Use a different one for each site and keep them in a password manager.
Why exclude ambiguous characters?
It avoids confusion between look-alikes such as O and 0 or l and 1 when you must type the password by hand.
