Password Generator

No. All password generation happens entirely inside your browser using JavaScript's built-in crypto.getRandomValues() API. Nothing is transmitted to our server or any third party. Your passwords exist only in your browser's memory and are never logged, stored, or shared.

Security experts recommend at least 16 characters for passwords protecting important accounts. For critical systems like servers, databases, and financial accounts, use 24–32 characters. Length is the single most important factor in password security — a 20-character random password is exponentially harder to crack than a 10-character one, even without special symbols.

A strong password is long, random, and unique. It should contain a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Crucially, it should never be reused across different sites. The combination of high character count and true randomness (generated by a cryptographically secure RNG, not human choice) makes it resistant to brute-force and dictionary attacks.

Yes — a password manager is strongly recommended. It lets you use a different, long, random password for every site without needing to remember them. Popular options include Bitwarden (free and open source), 1Password, Dashlane, and KeePass. Generate a unique password here for each account, save it in your password manager, and never reuse passwords.

A password is typically a string of random characters, while a passphrase is a sequence of random words (e.g. "correct horse battery staple"). Passphrases are often easier to remember while still being very secure due to their length. Both approaches are valid — the key is that they must be random and unique per account.
