About this tool
Strong passwords are long and random. A 16-character password using letters, numbers and symbols would take longer than a lifetime to guess. Passwords here are created with your browser’s cryptographic random generator and are never sent anywhere — and the best way to remember them is a password manager.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to generate passwords online?
Here, yes: the password is created on your device and never leaves it. You can even disconnect from the internet and it will still work.
How long should a password be?
At least 12 characters, ideally 16 or more for important accounts like email and banking.
What is a passphrase?
Several random words joined together, like “copper-river-lamp-seven”. They are long, strong and easier to type than random characters.
