Create Strong Passwords — Random, Secure, Instant
What makes a good password?
Length beats complexity. A 20-character all-lowercase password like "purpleguitarraincoat" is mathematically harder to crack than an 8-character password with symbols like "P@ssw0rd!". Aim for at least 16 characters. The generator above makes this easy — slide the length to 16 or 20 and copy.
I can't remember 50 different passwords. What do I do?
You do not have to. Use a password manager (Bitwarden is free, 1Password is excellent). Memorize exactly three passwords: your password manager master password, your email password, and your bank password. Let the manager handle everything else. That is 3 passwords instead of 50.
Are online password generators safe?
This one is. All password generation happens inside your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to any server. Nothing is stored. Close the page and the password is gone forever. The same cannot be said for generators that create passwords server-side — you have to trust they are not logging. With browser-side generation, you do not have to trust anyone.
How often should I change my passwords?
The old advice — change every 90 days — is wrong. Change only when: a service announces a data breach, you suspect someone saw your password, or you are reusing a password across sites (stop doing that). Forcing frequent changes makes people choose weaker, easier-to-remember passwords, which defeats the purpose.
Generate, copy, close. Your passwords stay private.
