Password Generator
Generate strong, random passwords with custom length and character sets. Everything is generated locally in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere. Free and secure.
How to use the Password Generator
- 1Set the password length with the slider or number field — 16 or more characters is recommended for accounts that matter.
- 2Switch on the character classes you need: lowercase, uppercase, digits, and symbols, matching the target site's rules.
- 3Optionally enable 'exclude similar characters' to remove ambiguous glyphs like 0/O and 1/l/I, or turn symbols off for sites that reject punctuation.
- 4Click Generate to produce a random password instantly using the browser's Web Crypto API.
- 5Check the strength indicator and click Generate again if you want a different string.
- 6Press Copy to send the password to your clipboard, then paste it into the signup form or your password manager.
About the Password Generator
Password Generator builds strong, random passwords entirely inside your browser tab, so the string you copy never travels over the network. It draws each character from crypto.getRandomValues, the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure random source, instead of Math.random() — which is fast but predictable and unsafe for anything you need to keep secret. You decide the exact makeup: drag the length control anywhere from 8 to 64 characters, then switch on the character classes you want — lowercase (a–z), uppercase (A–Z), digits (0–9), and symbols such as !@#$%^&*. Two convenience toggles handle real-world friction: "exclude similar characters" drops ambiguous glyphs like 0/O and 1/l/I so a password is safe to read off a screen and type by hand, and turning symbols off produces a password that still passes on sites which reject punctuation. The math is what makes this worthwhile. People invent passwords around names, birthdays, and keyboard runs like "qwerty," patterns that offline cracking rigs test in seconds. A truly random 16-character password using all four classes sits near 95^16 combinations — roughly 10^31 — which puts brute force out of reach. Because generation is instant and local, you can tap Generate repeatedly with no cost and no exposure until you get a string you like. Typical jobs: minting a unique login for every new account so one breach can't unlock the others, replacing a password right after a leak, creating a Wi-Fi passphrase, or seeding a service-account or API credential. The tool is meant to sit next to a password manager: generate here, copy, paste into your vault, and let the manager remember it so you never reuse a password twice. Developers, IT admins, and freelancers juggling dozens of client logins get the most out of it, but anyone tired of inventing passwords benefits. Two habits matter more than any setting: favor length over exotic complexity, and never build a password from personal information. Everything runs client-side, so once the page has loaded you can even go offline and the generator keeps working.
Frequently asked questions
Which random source does this use, and could two people get the same password?
Every character comes from crypto.getRandomValues, the Web Crypto API's cryptographically secure generator — not Math.random(). For any password of 12+ characters across multiple classes the number of possibilities is astronomically large, so the chance of two independently generated passwords colliding is effectively zero.
Does the password get sent or saved anywhere after I generate it?
No. Generation happens in your browser's memory and nothing is uploaded, logged, or written to a server. The string is gone once you close or refresh the tab, and since the code runs client-side you can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
What length and character classes should I actually pick?
For everyday logins use at least 16 characters with lowercase, uppercase, and digits on. For email, banking, or a password-manager master key, go to 20+ and add symbols. Length raises the difficulty faster than added complexity, so when in doubt make it longer rather than fancier.
A site rejected the password I generated — what now?
Some sites cap length or forbid certain symbols. Lower the length to fit their limit, switch the symbols class off, and regenerate — the new password will obey whatever rules you've set in the controls.
How am I supposed to remember these random strings?
You aren't. The workflow is to generate a unique password per site, paste it into a password manager, and remember only your one master password. If you must type a password by hand, enable 'exclude similar characters' so you don't trip over 0 versus O or 1 versus l.
