Secure Password Generator
Generate cryptographically secure passwords with customizable options.
📖 How It Works
Cryptographically Secure Generation
This password generator uses the Web Crypto API (window.crypto.getRandomValues())
to generate truly random passwords. Unlike pseudo-random generators, cryptographic randomness
is suitable for security-sensitive applications and is virtually impossible to predict.
Password Strength
The strength meter evaluates your password based on:
- Length: Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack
- Character Variety: Using all character types increases combinations
- Entropy: The mathematical measure of password randomness
🔒 100% Offline: Your passwords are generated entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent to any server. Even if someone monitored your network traffic, they would see nothing - because there's nothing to send.
🛡️ Password Security Tips
- Use 16+ characters: Modern GPUs can crack short passwords in minutes
- Never reuse passwords: If one account is breached, others remain safe
- Use a password manager: Tools like Bitwarden or 1Password store passwords securely
- Enable 2FA: Two-factor authentication adds an extra security layer
- Avoid personal info: Never use birthdays, names, or dictionary words
- Update regularly: Change critical passwords every 3-6 months
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
For most accounts, 16 characters is a good minimum. For highly sensitive accounts (banking, email), consider 20+ characters. Each additional character exponentially increases security.
Yes. We use the Web Crypto API which provides cryptographically secure random number generation. This is the same level of randomness used for encryption and security protocols.
Characters like 0/O, 1/l/I can be confusing when reading or typing passwords manually. Excluding them makes passwords easier to use without significantly reducing security.
Absolutely not. Passwords are generated using JavaScript in your browser. They exist only in your browser's memory until you close the page. We have no way to see or store them.
