Password Generator

Frequently asked questions

How long should a password be?

Aim for at least 16 characters for general accounts and 20 or more for high-value logins like email and banking. Length beats complexity, so a longer mix of letters, numbers, and symbols is harder to crack than a short cryptic one.

Are these passwords cryptographically random?

Yes. The generator uses the browser's crypto.getRandomValues API, which is designed for cryptographic use, rather than Math.random which is predictable.

Should I include symbols and mixed case?

Enable symbols, uppercase, lowercase, and digits whenever the site allows them, as it expands the character pool and slows brute-force attacks. Disable specific classes only if the target system rejects them.
