Generate strong, secure passwords instantly
Weak passwords are the #1 cause of data breaches. A strong password should be:
This generator creates cryptographically random passwords using your browser's built-in secure random number generator. No passwords are stored or transmitted — everything happens locally on your device.
Generate strong, random passwords customized to your needs. Choose length, include or exclude uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters. Copy with one click. All generation happens locally in your browser.
A strong password has at least 12-16 characters and includes a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Length is the single most important factor — a 16-character password with mixed characters would take millions of years to crack with current technology. Avoid dictionary words, personal information, and common patterns.
Entropy measures password randomness in bits. Higher entropy means harder to crack. A random 8-character password using all character types has about 52 bits of entropy. A random 16-character password has about 105 bits. Security experts recommend at least 80 bits of entropy for important accounts. Adding just 4 more characters can increase cracking time by millions of times.
Avoid these common mistakes: using the same password for multiple accounts, using personal information (birthdays, pet names), common substitutions (@ for a, 3 for e), keyboard patterns (qwerty, 123456), and short passwords under 10 characters. Data breaches have revealed that these patterns are the first things attackers try.
Use a unique password for every account. Use a password manager (like Bitwarden, 1Password, or KeePass) to store and auto-fill passwords securely. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever available. Change passwords immediately if a service reports a data breach. Consider using passphrases (random word combinations) for passwords you need to remember.
