Password Generator
Create strong, random passwords with configurable character sets and length.
Frequently Asked Questions
How strong should my password be?
A strong password is at least 12 characters and includes uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. For critical accounts (email, banking), use 16+ characters. The longer and more varied the character set, the harder it is to crack by brute force.
What is a brute force attack?
A brute force attack is when a computer program tries every possible combination of characters until it guesses your password. Each additional character in your password multiplies the number of possible combinations exponentially, making brute force attacks take unreasonably long.
Should I include symbols in my password?
Yes. Symbols (!@#$%^&*) add significant complexity because they are additional character types beyond letters and numbers. A 12-character password with all four character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) is dramatically harder to crack than one without symbols.
How do I remember a randomly generated password?
The best approach is using a password manager (like 1Password, Bitwarden, or your browser's built-in manager). These store your passwords securely and fill them in automatically. Never reuse passwords across different accounts — if one service is breached, all accounts using that password are vulnerable.
