Key takeaways
- A strong password is long and random — not a word with a few characters swapped out.
- Password Generator creates one instantly in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere or logged.
- Aim for at least 16 characters when the site allows it, mixing letters, numbers and symbols.
- A password manager to store it matters as much as the password's strength — don't reuse generated passwords across sites.
Generate one in seconds
Open Password Generator, set the length and which character types to include, and a new password appears instantly — press generate again for a different one, as many times as you like.
Why 'random' is the part that matters
Humans are bad at picking random-looking passwords — patterns like capitalizing the first letter or swapping 'a' for '@' are common enough that attackers' tools already check for them. A password generator avoids that by not starting from a word at all.
The trade-off is that a fully random password is hard to remember — which is fine, because it's meant to live in a password manager, not your memory.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to generate a password for my bank account this way?
Yes — the password is created locally in your browser and never leaves your device, so there's nothing to intercept.
Should I avoid symbols if a site doesn't allow them?
Untick the symbol option and generate again — some sites still restrict special characters, so a letters-and-numbers-only password is still far stronger than a short, memorable one.
