Generate strong, cryptographically secure passwords with custom length and character sets. Includes strength meter and entropy calculation.
๐ Strong Password Generator
A strong password is the first line of defence against unauthorised account access. This generator creates cryptographically random passwords using your browser's built-in crypto.getRandomValues() API โ no passwords are sent to any server or stored anywhere.
๐ฒ True Randomness
Uses the browser's CSPRNG (Cryptographically Secure Pseudo-Random Number Generator) โ the same source used by TLS and cryptographic libraries.
๐ Length Matters
Every extra character multiplies the keyspace. A 16-character random password with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols has over 10ยฒโน possible values.
๐ค Character Sets
Including all four character types (uppercase, lowercase, digits, symbols) maximises entropy per character. Removing symbols slightly reduces entropy but improves compatibility with some services.
๐๏ธ Use a Manager
Store generated passwords in a password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePass) so you never need to remember them โ only your master password matters.
๐ก๏ธ Password Security Best Practices
- Use a unique password for every account โ reuse is the biggest risk multiplier
- Minimum 16 characters for sensitive accounts (email, banking, work)
- Enable two-factor authentication wherever available
- Never share passwords via email, SMS, or chat โ use a password manager's secure share feature
- Change passwords immediately after any data breach notification
โ Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to generate passwords in a browser?
Yes, when generation uses crypto.getRandomValues() (as this tool does) and no data leaves your device. Avoid any tool that claims to generate passwords server-side.
What makes a password "strong"?
Length and randomness โ not complexity tricks like substituting letters with numbers (p@ssw0rd). A 20-character random string is far stronger than any pattern-based password.
