🔒 Passwords are generated with crypto.getRandomValues entirely on your device and never leave your browser. We do not see, store, or transmit them.

How to Generate a Strong Password

  1. Pick a length with the slider — 16+ characters is recommended for 2026.
  2. Choose character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) and optionally exclude look-alike characters.
  3. Click Generate, check the entropy meter, then hit 📋 Copy and paste it into your password manager.

How to Create a Strong Password in 2026

Password strength comes down to one number: entropy, measured in bits. Each extra character multiplies the number of guesses an attacker must make. A random password drawn from uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols has roughly 6.5 bits of entropy per character — so a 16-character random password exceeds 100 bits, far beyond what modern GPU cracking rigs can brute-force, while an 8-character one (about 52 bits) can fall in hours when a site's password database leaks.

Current NIST guidance (SP 800-63B) favors length over forced complexity rules: long, random, and unique beats "P@ssw0rd1!" tricks every time. NIST also recommends dropping mandatory periodic resets and screening passwords against known-breach lists. The practical takeaway for US users in 2026: generate a unique random password for every account, store them in a reputable password manager, and turn on two-factor authentication (ideally passkeys or an authenticator app) for email, banking, and anything tied to your identity.

For master passwords you must memorize, consider a passphrase instead — four to six random words ("correct horse battery staple" style) are easier to remember yet still high-entropy. For everything else, a generated string from this tool is ideal because you never have to remember it. The "exclude ambiguous" option removes look-alike characters (0/O, 1/l/I, |) so passwords you occasionally have to read or type by hand — Wi-Fi keys, TV logins — stay error-free.

This generator runs entirely client-side using the Web Crypto API with unbiased rejection sampling, so the result is statistically uniform and never leaves your browser. There is no server round-trip, no analytics on the generated value, and nothing to intercept.

Password Generator FAQ

Yes. Passwords are generated locally in your browser using the cryptographically secure crypto.getRandomValues API with unbiased sampling. Nothing is sent to a server, logged, or stored — the password never leaves your device.
At least 16 characters for anything important. NIST guidance favors length over complexity tricks, and a 16-character random password with mixed character types exceeds 100 bits of entropy — beyond practical brute-force even for leaked password databases.
The meter shows entropy in bits: length multiplied by log2 of the character-pool size. Under 50 bits is Weak, 50–79 Good, 80–99 Strong, and 100+ Excellent.
It removes look-alike characters — 0, O, 1, l, I and | — so passwords you have to read or type by hand, like Wi-Fi keys or TV logins, can't be mistyped. It slightly lowers entropy, so add a few characters of length to compensate.
For accounts stored in a password manager, a random string is ideal because you never type it. For a master password you must memorize, a passphrase of four to six random words is easier to remember and still very strong.
No. Reuse is how one site's breach becomes a takeover of your email and bank accounts via credential stuffing. Generate a unique password per site and keep them in a password manager.
Math.random is a predictable pseudo-random generator never meant for security — its output can be reconstructed. This tool only uses the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), which is designed for cryptographic use.
