Strong Password Generator: How to Create Secure Passwords
9 min read
Weak or reused passwords are a main cause of account breaches. A password generator creates long, random passwords that are hard to guess. Use one for every important account and store them in a password manager.
What makes a password strong?
- Length: At least 12–16 characters; longer when allowed.
- Variety: Mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
- Randomness: Not based on your name, birthday, or common words.
- Uniqueness: Different password for every site.
When to generate a new password
- Creating a new account.
- After a breach or when you suspect a leak.
- When a site asks you to change your password.
- For dev databases, API keys, or test accounts (use a separate generator or manager for these).
Our Password Generator lets you set length and character types, then copy the result. Generation happens in your browser—we never see or store your password. Use it, then save the password in your manager and never reuse it elsewhere.
