Why Use a Password Generator?
Using strong, unique passwords for every account is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your online security. A password generator creates truly random passwords that are nearly impossible to guess or crack through brute-force attacks.
What Makes a Strong Password?
- Length: At least 12-16 characters. Every additional character exponentially increases security.
- Variety: A mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
- Randomness: Avoid dictionary words, personal information, or common patterns like "123" or "abc".
- Uniqueness: Never reuse passwords across different accounts.
How This Tool Works
This password generator uses the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues()), which provides cryptographically secure random numbers. Your password is generated entirely in your browser — it is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.
Password Strength Guide
Password strength depends on length and character diversity:
- Weak (below 8 characters): Can be cracked in seconds to minutes.
- Fair (8-11 characters): May take hours to days to crack.
- Strong (12-15 characters): Would take years to crack with current technology.
- Very Strong (16+ characters): Practically uncrackable with brute-force methods.
