Create strong, secure random passwords instantly with this free password generator. Customize the length and character types to meet your security requirements. Generated passwords are created locally in your browser and never sent to any server, ensuring maximum privacy and security.
Generate Secure Password
Why Use a Random Password Generator?
In today's digital age, password security is more critical than ever. Weak or reused passwords are one of the leading causes of data breaches and account compromises. Our free random password generator helps you create strong, unique passwords that are virtually impossible to guess or crack.
100% Secure & Private
All passwords are generated locally in your browser. No data is transmitted or stored on any server.
Cryptographically Random
Uses browser's crypto.getRandomValues() for true randomness, not predictable algorithms.
Instant Generation
Passwords are generated instantly as you adjust settings. No waiting, no delays.
Fully Customizable
Choose password length (8-32 chars) and character types to meet any security requirement.
How to Use This Password Generator
- Adjust password length: Use the slider to select between 8 and 32 characters
- Select character types: Check boxes for uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
- Auto-generation: Password generates automatically as you change settings
- Review strength: Check the strength indicator to ensure password security
- Copy password: Click the "Copy" button to copy to your clipboard
- Use immediately: Paste the password into your account creation or password reset form
Password Security Best Practices
Length Matters Most
A 16-character password is exponentially harder to crack than an 8-character one. We recommend at least 12-16 characters for most accounts, and 20+ for critical accounts like banking or email.
Use All Character Types
Mixing uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols increases the possible combinations exponentially, making brute-force attacks practically impossible.
Never Reuse Passwords
If one account is compromised, hackers will try that password on all your other accounts. Always use unique passwords for each service.
Store Passwords Securely
Use a reputable password manager like 1Password, LastPass, or Bitwarden to store your passwords securely. Never write them down or store in plain text files.
Enable Two-Factor Authentication
Even strong passwords can be compromised. Always enable 2FA (two-factor authentication) when available for an additional layer of security.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this password generator safe to use?
Yes, absolutely. All passwords are generated locally in your web browser using the cryptographically secure crypto.getRandomValues() API. No passwords are transmitted over the internet or stored on any server. Your generated passwords are completely private.
How long should my password be?
We recommend at least 12-16 characters for most accounts. For high-security accounts (banking, email, work), use 20+ characters. Longer passwords exponentially increase the time needed to crack them through brute force.
Should I include symbols in my password?
Yes, including symbols (!@#$%^&*) increases password complexity significantly. However, some websites don't allow certain special characters, so you may need to adjust based on the site's requirements.
Can the same password be generated twice?
While technically possible, it's astronomically unlikely. A 16-character password using all character types has over 95^16 possible combinations (more than 10^31), making duplicate generation virtually impossible.
How do I remember strong passwords?
Don't try to memorize them! Use a password manager application to securely store all your passwords. This way, you only need to remember one master password to access all your other passwords.
How often should I change my passwords?
Change passwords immediately if you suspect a breach or if a service you use has been compromised. For regular changes, every 3-6 months is recommended for sensitive accounts. Using unique passwords for each account is more important than frequent changes.
Understanding Password Strength
Password strength is measured by how many attempts it would take to guess or crack your password using various attack methods. Our generator includes a strength indicator to help you create optimal passwords.
Short passwords (under 12 chars) or limited character types. Can be cracked in seconds to hours.
12-15 characters with some variety. Takes days to months to crack with current technology.
16+ characters with uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Would take years to centuries to crack.
