Random password generator

Use our password generator for strong, memorable passwords and passphrases. Custom length and elements. Private and secure.

What makes a password secure?

Randomness is key

A strong password includes a random mix of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters. Passwords using information like addresses and birthdays are too easy to crack!

Use more than a browser

While browsers can autofill passwords, the encryption they provide isn’t as strong as it could be. For more robust encryption, consider using a dedicated password security tool.

Complexity vs memorability

A random password can be too difficult to remember for everyday use. This is where using password management software or a passphrase can save you countless headaches.

At least 12 characters long

Password length is even more important than the characters used, as hackers will start with shorter password guesses before moving on to longer phrases. Longer is stronger.

One source of truth

Secure passwords aren’t shared with anyone else. Don’t write it down or send it in an email or text. Instead, set up multi-factor authentication (MFA) to generate a one-time code for every login.

Unique to each account

Hackers count on you reusing the same password on multiple accounts. Generating a random password for each account is the best way to keep your data safe from theft. Try generating a random password now!

Password protection tips

Protecting your password is just as important as generating it. The National Cybersecurity Alliance recommends best practices like multi-factor authentication, periodically changing your password, and auditing your passwords using a secure breach directory.

Should you use a password manager?

To save time and frustration, there are management tools that can remember your passwords for you.

Cybersecurity experts recommend free tools like NordPass and Bitwarden, or paid tools like 1Password and Dashlane which cost a few dollars a month.

Password generator FAQ

A password generator is an online tool that allows you to create a secure password in seconds, instead of creating one yourself.

A common method of attack on passwords is to use common English words that many people have used before. This is called a ‘dictionary attack’ because the attackers will guess combinations of common dictionary words in an attempt to gain access. This is why the best passwords will include a random combination of characters, symbols, numbers, and words.

Another option for generating a strong random password is to use a passphrase, or a combination of four to six words strung together. Because word-based passphrases are often over 20 characters or longer, they are extremely resilient to brute-force attacks. However, we recommend including at least two to three numbers or symbols to throw off any would-be dictionary attackers.

We built our password generator to follow all the best practices laid out above. You can choose to generate strong password with any parameters with the random generator. Or, you can use the passphrase generator to make things easier to remember. The password strength checker will then tell you exactly how secure your new password is.

Entropy bits refer to the unpredictability of your password. It is a measure used in information theory, and is based on the length of the password and character set used. The more bits of entropy your password or passphrase has, the harder it is for an attacker to guess.

The charset is simply the total number of unique characters in the password. For example, the password “abcdabcdabcdabcd” is a good length at 16 characters long, but not secure at all because the charset is only four letters. This is why using capital letters, numbers, and symbols is a necessary practice.

Our password generator is entirely safe, we cannot see the source of your visit or why you’re using the tool. We cannot see your password variations.

It is rare. If you save your passwords in a browser or a tool, there is a higher chance of vulnerability. To combat this, you may want to change your password every three months or so.

Not at all! An easy way to enhance your password is to add words, numbers, or symbols that are only meaningful to you privately. An example would be your least favorite movie or a secret pet peeve. You can check the strength of your new password in the above field.
