Free Password Generator
Generate strong, random passwords with the character types and length you choose. They’re created with cryptographically secure randomness and never leave your browser.
Quick answer
A strong password generator creates a random string from a chosen set of characters (lowercase, uppercase, digits, symbols). This tool uses the browser’s Web Crypto API for cryptographically secure randomness, so each password is unpredictable. A length of 16 or more with mixed character types is recommended.
Formula & method
Random values come from the browser’s Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), which is cryptographically secure — unlike ordinary Math.random. Characters are drawn uniformly from the sets you enable, using rejection sampling so no character is slightly more likely than another. Passwords are generated on your device and are never transmitted or stored.
Examples
- Input
- length 16, a–z A–Z 0–9 symbols
- Result
- e.g. 7t$Rq2!vKp9xWm… (unique each time)
- Why
- A long mixed-character password is hard to guess or brute-force.
- Input
- length 6, digits only
- Result
- e.g. 408172
- Why
- Useful where only numbers are allowed, though far weaker.
- Input
- exclude look-alikes (O/0, l/1)
- Result
- Easier to read and type
- Why
- Helpful for passwords you’ll enter by hand.
When to use this tool
- Creating a new account that deserves a strong, unique password.
- Replacing a weak or reused password after a breach.
- Generating an API key-style random string for personal use.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a short password. Length matters more than complexity — aim for 16+ characters.
- Reusing one password across sites. A unique password per account limits the damage of a breach.
- Relying on memory instead of a password manager for long random strings.
Frequently asked questions
+ - Are these passwords secure?
Yes. They’re generated with the Web Crypto API, which provides cryptographically secure random numbers, and they’re created locally so they’re never seen by anyone else.
+ - Is the password stored or sent anywhere?
No. Generation happens entirely in your browser. We don’t transmit, log, or store any password you create.
+ - How long should my password be?
For important accounts, 16 characters or more with a mix of types is a good baseline. Longer is stronger, especially when paired with a password manager.
+ - What makes a password strong?
Unpredictability. A long random password from a large character set has high entropy, meaning there are too many possibilities to guess or brute-force.
+ - Why not just use Math.random?
Math.random isn’t cryptographically secure and can be predictable. This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues, which is designed for security-sensitive randomness.
