Password Generator

What is a password generator?

A password generator creates strong, random passwords for you so you don't have to invent them yourself. Humans are predictable — we reuse favourites, swap an "a" for an "@", and lean on names and dates. Attackers know all of those patterns. A generator produces passwords with no pattern at all, which is exactly what makes them hard to guess or crack.

This tool runs entirely in your browser and uses the Web Crypto API — the same secure randomness your browser uses for encryption — so the passwords are genuinely unpredictable and never leave your device.

How to use it

1. Set the length with the slider (16+ is a good default).
2. Choose which character types to include: lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols.
3. A password is generated instantly. Click regenerate for a new one.
4. Hit Copy and paste it straight into the sign-up or password-change form.

The strength meter gives you a quick read on how robust your choices are as you adjust them.

What makes a password strong?

Two things matter most:

• Length. Each extra character multiplies the number of possible combinations, so a long password is exponentially harder to crack. Length beats clever substitutions almost every time.
• Variety. Mixing character types (upper, lower, numbers, symbols) increases the pool each character is drawn from, which raises the overall strength.

A 16-character password using all four types is extremely hard to brute-force with today's hardware. Short passwords — even "complex" ones — fall much faster.

Best practices

• Use a unique password per account. Reuse is the single biggest risk: one breach shouldn't unlock everything else.
• Use a password manager. You can't remember dozens of random strings, and you shouldn't have to. A manager stores them securely and fills them in for you.
• Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever it's offered, so a stolen password alone isn't enough.
• Avoid personal info — names, birthdays, pets — even inside an otherwise random password.

Private by design

Because everything happens locally, you can generate as many passwords as you like without anything being logged, stored or transmitted. Generate, copy, and move on — your new password is yours alone. If it is for a guest Wi-Fi network, you can even turn it into a scannable QR code so visitors connect without typing anything.
