What is this tool for?
A strong password is long, random and different for every account. Passwords made of names, dates or common words are easy to guess; a random one is not. This generator uses your browser’s secure random number source, the same used for cryptography.
The password is created on your device and is never sent, stored or logged. Do not reuse it: save it in a password manager and use a different one for each service.
Limits to keep in mind
- Some sites do not accept certain symbols or limit the length; if one is rejected, turn off Symbols or shorten it.
- Avoid look-alike characters if you need to type the password by hand from a screen or paper.
Frequently asked questions
Is the password sent anywhere?
No. It is generated in your browser and never leaves your device or gets stored.
How do I create a strong password for my accounts?
Generate one that is 16 characters or longer with lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and symbols, use a different one for each account, and keep it in a password manager instead of memorizing it.
How long should my password be?
At least 12 characters; 16 or more for important accounts such as email, banking and password managers.
Are the passwords really random?
Yes. They are generated with the browser’s cryptographic random source, not with a predictable formula.
Where do I save it?
In a password manager. Do not store passwords in plain notes or reuse the same one across sites.
