Generate a Strong Random Password

How to use the password generator

Choose the password length you want, keep the character types that fit your use case, and generate a new result. You can keep creating fresh passwords until you get one that suits the site or service you are using.

What makes a strong password

A strong password is usually longer and less predictable than something chosen by habit. A random password generator helps you avoid names, dates, repeated patterns, and familiar substitutions that make passwords easier to guess.

Current NIST guidance sets a 15-character minimum for passwords used as a single authentication factor and advises services not to rely on forced character-mix rules. The default here is 16 characters. Choose a longer password when the service allows it, make it unique to that account, and store it in a password manager rather than trying to memorise or reuse it.

Character options are available for compatibility with different sites, but uppercase letters and symbols do not compensate for a short or reused password. Multi-factor authentication adds another important layer where it is available.

See the current NIST password guidance for the requirements behind these recommendations.

Create a password with letters, numbers, and symbols

Use the checkboxes to include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. This helps when a website requires particular character types, while the adjustable length supports common searches for 12, 16, 20, or 32 character passwords.

Generate a separate password for every account. The tool creates the value but does not store it, so place the result directly into a trusted password manager and avoid sending it through an unprotected channel.
