Create a random password online. Generation happens locally in your browser.

0 / 100

Passwords are generated only in your browser and are not sent to the server.

This free online password generator helps you instantly create a cryptographically strong random password for email, social media, your home Wi-Fi router, online banking, a website admin panel, or cloud storage. The tool creates unique random combinations that are significantly more resistant to guessing, dictionary attacks, and automated password cracking.

Choose the required password length and select the character sets you want to use: uppercase and lowercase Latin letters, numbers, and special characters. If you may need to enter the password manually from a smartphone screen or a printed note, enable the option to exclude visually similar characters such as 0 and O, or 1, l, and I. This can help prevent typing mistakes without significantly reducing password security.

The built-in real-time indicator estimates password entropy and strength on a scale from 0 to 100. The longer the password and the more diverse the selected character set, the stronger the protection against brute-force attacks.

How to create a strong password with the generator

Adjust the settings to match the requirements of a particular service and click the “Generate” button. The tool will immediately create several independent options, each of which can be copied to the clipboard with one click.

For better protection of your personal data, follow a few basic cybersecurity practices:

  • Use a unique password for every service: never reuse the same password on different websites. If one service suffers a data breach, attackers will not automatically gain access to your other accounts or email.
  • Avoid obvious words and patterns: names, birth dates, phone numbers, and keyboard sequences such as qwerty can be discovered very quickly by automated password-cracking tools.
  • Use a password manager: you do not need to memorize complex 20-character combinations. Store generated passwords in dedicated secure password managers such as Bitwarden, 1Password, KeePass, or the password manager built into your browser.

What password length should you choose?

Password strength depends heavily on its length:

  • 8-10 characters: a relatively short password length that may still be accepted by some services, but longer passwords are preferable whenever possible.
  • 12-16 characters: a practical range for email, major social media accounts, messengers, government services, and online stores, especially when the password is randomly generated and unique.
  • 16-24+ characters: a strong choice for Wi-Fi networks using WPA2/WPA3, hosting control panels, CMS accounts such as WordPress, databases, cryptocurrency wallets, and master passwords.

Secure local password generation in your browser

All passwords are generated locally on your device using the browser’s built-in cryptographic capabilities through the Web Crypto API. Generated passwords are not transmitted over the internet, stored in logs, or sent to external servers.

You receive a private random password instantly, without registration or the need to install third-party software.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

How long does it take to crack a 12-character password?

There is no single fixed answer because cracking time depends on the character set, randomness of the password, hashing algorithm, attacker hardware, and whether the attack is performed online or against a stolen password database. A randomly generated 12-character password using uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters can be far more resistant to brute-force attacks than a human-created password of the same length.

Is it safe to generate passwords on an online website?

It can be safe when password generation is performed entirely on the client side in your browser. This tool creates random passwords locally on your computer or smartphone, so the generated passwords do not need to be sent to an external server.

How often should I change my passwords?

Modern security guidance, including NIST recommendations, generally does not require periodic password changes when there is no evidence that a password has been compromised. It is more important to use a long, unique password for each account and enable multi-factor authentication whenever available.
