Password Generator
Generate secure random passwords with customizable options.
How long should a secure password be?
A secure password should be at least 12-15 characters long. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack. Each additional character multiplies the possible combinations. A 15-character password with mixed characters would take billions of years to crack with current technology.
What makes a password strong?
Strong passwords combine length, complexity, and randomness. Use at least 12 characters with a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid dictionary words, personal information, or predictable patterns like '123' or 'qwerty'.
Should I use special characters in my password?
Yes, special characters significantly increase password strength by expanding the character set. Including symbols like !@#$%^&* increases possible combinations from 62 (letters and numbers) to 90+ characters, making brute-force attacks much harder.
Is it safe to use a password generator?
Reputable password generators using cryptographically secure random number generators are safe. This generator uses your browser's secure random API. Generated passwords are created locally and never transmitted or stored. For maximum security, use unique generated passwords for each account with a password manager.
