Random Password Generator
Generate strong random passwords with custom length and character sets, plus a live entropy estimate. Everything is generated locally — never transmitted.
Options
How it works
- Every character is drawn with
crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG). - Each generated password includes at least one character from every selected character set, then is shuffled so no set is predictable in position.
- Entropy is estimated as
bits ≈ length × log₂(charset size)— the number of bits of uncertainty an attacker must brute-force. - Generation happens entirely on your device; nothing is transmitted or stored.
About Random Password Generator
A strong password is unpredictable: each character multiplies the number of possibilities an attacker must try, so length and randomness matter far more than clever substitutions like "P@ssw0rd". This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues, a cryptographically secure random source, rather than Math.random, whose output is not designed for security and can be predictable. Entropy, measured in bits, expresses how much uncertainty the password holds — roughly the number of guesses needed to crack it.
Use this generator when creating a new account, an API key, or an encryption passphrase. For maximum safety, save generated passwords in a password manager instead of reusing memorable ones, avoid patterns like consecutive digits or keyboard runs, and prefer longer passwords over adding more symbols. Remember that random generation solves the guessing problem, but not the theft problem: on a compromised device or a phishing page, even a perfect password is useless.
Why the browser should generate the password
A password generated on your own machine never crosses a network, which removes an entire category of risk: no server logs it, no proxy sees it in transit, and no database breach can retroactively recover it. The trade-off is that you are responsible for storing it.
This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues, the browser's cryptographically secure random source. Tools built on Math.random() are not safe for this purpose — the sequence is predictable from a few observed outputs, and password generation is exactly the case where predictability is fatal.
Length and character classes
Length is the dominant factor: an 8-character password is far weaker than a 16-character one even if both use every character class. Entropy grows exponentially with length, so adding characters beats adding symbol requirements.
For a passphrase, check the estimated entropy shown — aim for 80 bits or more for anything that matters. Avoid predictable substitutions: a passphrase built from dictionary words with the required symbol appended is weaker than its length suggests.
What to avoid
Do not reuse a password across sites, and do not store generated passwords in a plain text file. If you want an automatic option, a password manager is the right tool: it generates, stores and autofills, which this page deliberately does not do.
