Generate passwords

Several at once, with an honest word about how strong they are.

    What you type is processed in your browser and never sent to us.

    How to do it

    1. Set the length

      Longer beats more complicated, every time.

    2. Choose the character groups

      Symbols optional; look-alikes can be left out.

    3. Copy one

      Or generate a fresh set.

    What this is for

    Generated in your browser with the cryptographic random source, not with the arithmetic shortcut that most quick implementations reach for. Nothing is sent anywhere, so nothing can be logged.

    The strength figure is the number of bits an attacker would have to work through – a real measure rather than a coloured bar.

    Common questions

    No. They are created in your browser and never leave it.

    Sixteen characters is a sensible floor for anything that matters. Below twelve it says so.

    It removes I, l, 1, O and 0. Useful when the password gets typed out, read aloud or printed. It shrinks the character pool slightly – a couple of extra characters of length make up for it.
