Free Password Generator
Strong, random passwords generated instantly. Free, private, no account needed.
Your Password
How it works
Three steps, no account
Choose your options
Pick the length and character types for your password. Longer and more varied means stronger.
Generate instantly
A cryptographically secure random password appears immediately — generated entirely in your browser, never sent anywhere.
Copy and use
Click Copy and paste it into your account. Done. Store it in a password manager so you never have to remember it.
The basics
What makes a strong password?
A strong password is long, random, and unique. Length is the single biggest factor: every extra character multiplies the number of possible combinations. Character variety — mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols — adds further complexity. And uniqueness ensures that a breach of one account does not compromise others.
This generator uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the browser's built-in cryptographically secure random number generator — so every password is genuinely unpredictable.
Why it matters
Common password mistakes to avoid
Reusing passwords
If one site is breached and you use the same password elsewhere, attackers try it on every major service. Use a unique password for every account.
Short passwords
An 8-character password can be cracked in seconds with modern hardware. A 16-character random password would take billions of years.
Predictable patterns
Passwords like "Password1!" or "Summer2024" are common enough that attackers try them first. Truly random passwords have no patterns.
Personal information
Names, birthdays, and pet names are easy to guess from social media. A random generator avoids all of these pitfalls automatically.
No password manager
You cannot remember 100 unique random passwords. A dedicated password manager does it for you — and free options are widely available.
Skipping two-factor auth
Even a perfect password can be stolen in a phishing attack. Adding 2FA means a stolen password alone is not enough to break in.
Under the hood
How password strength is calculated
The strength indicator here uses entropy — measured in bits — which is the standard cryptographic way to express how difficult a password is to guess. Entropy is calculated as: length × log₂(character set size). A 16-character password using all four character types (upper, lower, numbers, symbols) has roughly 105 bits of entropy — astronomically secure against brute-force attacks.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this password generator really free?
Do I need an account to use it?
Is my password stored or logged anywhere?
How is the password generated?
crypto.getRandomValues(), the Web Crypto API built into every modern browser. This is the same cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) used by security software. It is far more unpredictable than Math.random() and suitable for generating real passwords.What makes a password strong?
How long should my password be?
Should I use symbols in my password?
What does "exclude ambiguous characters" mean?
Can I use these passwords for business accounts?
Is the password sent to or stored on a server?
What is the difference between random and cryptographically secure random?
Math.random() in JavaScript) are designed for speed, not security. Their output can be predicted if an attacker knows the algorithm and seed. A cryptographically secure random number generator (CSPRNG) produces output that is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, even to someone who knows every previous output. This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues(), which is a CSPRNG.
