About this tool
Weak and reused passwords are one of the most common reasons accounts get hacked. A random password of 16 or more characters, unique to each account, is far harder to crack than a word with a few substitutions.
This generator uses a cryptographically secure random number source and guarantees at least one character from each type you select. Every password is shown with an estimated entropy in bits, so you can see how strong it is. Passwords are never saved or logged. Save them in a reputable password manager rather than in a notes file.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a password be?
Use at least 12 characters for ordinary accounts and 16 or more for email, banking and work accounts. Longer is better.
Is it safe to generate a password online?
This tool does not store or log the passwords it creates and sends them over an encrypted connection. As a best practice, use a unique password for every site and turn on two-factor authentication.
What is password entropy?
Entropy, measured in bits, estimates how many guesses an attacker would need. Above about 80 bits is considered very strong.
