How It Works

🧩

Set Security Requirements

Choose password length, quantity, and which character sets to include. Toggle options to exclude similar or ambiguous characters and add custom sets when policies demand them.

⚙️

Enforce Complexity Rules

Enable rule enforcement to guarantee that each password contains uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols as required by corporate policies.

🔐

Generate & Inspect Strength

Passwords are generated with secure randomness in the browser. View entropy estimates, total combination counts, and configuration snapshots to document strength.

📤

Export & Store Safely

Copy passwords, download lists, or log runs in tool history for auditing. Pair with a password manager to store and share credentials securely.

Problems It Solves

Problem

Manually crafting strong passwords wastes time and often results in weak or reused credentials.

Solution

Generate dozens of unique, high-entropy passwords in seconds with flexible length controls so every account stays unique.

Problem

Security policies forbid similar or ambiguous characters, yet many generators offer no way to exclude them.

Solution

Toggle exclusions for lookalike and ambiguous characters to produce user-friendly passwords that still meet strength requirements.

📊

Problem

Teams need auditable evidence that generated passwords meet entropy targets for audits and compliance.

Solution

Entropy estimates, combination counts, and configuration snapshots accompany each run for easy export into audit logs or ticketing systems.

Why Choose This Tool

🔒

Local-Only Generation

All randomness is produced client-side, so sensitive credentials never leave your device — critical for regulated environments.

🏢

Enterprise Flexibility

Custom character sets, rule enforcement, and bulk output support the password policies of SaaS platforms, IT teams, and MSPs.

📈

Actionable Metrics

Strength estimations, combination math, and configuration summaries help security teams justify policy changes and educate stakeholders.

🧑‍💻

Productivity-Focused UX

Keyboard shortcuts, auto-processing, copy/download buttons, and stored history streamline onboarding and credential rotations.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should my password be?
Use at least 12 characters for most accounts, 16+ for sensitive accounts. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack.
Should I include symbols in my passwords?
Yes, symbols significantly increase password strength. However, some systems don't allow certain symbols, so check requirements first.
What does "exclude similar characters" mean?
This removes characters that look similar (like 0/O, 1/l/I) to prevent confusion when typing passwords manually.
How do I remember complex passwords?
Use a password manager to store unique passwords securely. Don't try to memorize multiple complex passwords.
Is it safe to generate passwords online?
This tool generates passwords entirely in your browser - no data is sent to servers. However, for maximum security, use offline tools for critical passwords.
What makes a strong password?
Strong passwords are long (12+ characters), use mixed character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), avoid dictionary words, and are unique for each account.
How do I generate a secure password online?
Use our secure password generator with at least 12 characters, enable all character types, and generate multiple passwords to choose from. All generation happens in your browser for maximum security.
Can I create passwords without special characters?
Yes, disable the "Include symbols" option. However, passwords without special characters are weaker. Consider using longer lengths (16+ characters) to compensate for reduced complexity.
What's the difference between random and pronounceable passwords?
Random passwords use any valid characters for maximum security. Pronounceable passwords use patterns that are easier to read aloud but may be slightly less secure.
How often should I change my passwords?
Change passwords immediately if there's a security breach, every 90 days for high-security accounts, or annually for regular accounts. Focus on using unique, strong passwords rather than frequent changes.
Can I use the same password for multiple accounts?
Never reuse passwords! Each account should have a unique password. If one account is compromised, unique passwords prevent attackers from accessing your other accounts.
What are common password mistakes to avoid?
Avoid: personal information (names, dates), dictionary words, simple patterns (123, abc), short passwords (<8 chars), and reusing passwords across multiple sites.
How do hackers crack passwords?
Common methods include dictionary attacks (trying common passwords), brute force (trying all combinations), and credential stuffing (using leaked passwords). Strong, unique passwords defend against these attacks.
Is it better to use passphrases or random passwords?
Both can be secure. Passphrases (4+ random words) are easier to remember and type. Random passwords are harder to crack but require a password manager. Choose based on your security needs and preferences.
