Cryptographic Password Generator

Generate strong random passwords with your browser's crypto API.

Create secure, random passwords of any length using the browser's cryptographic random number generator, with an estimated strength in bits.

Use the tool

Between 8 and 128 characters. 16 or more is recommended.

Between 1 and 10.

How Cryptographic Password Generator works

A cryptographic password generator creates random passwords using a source of randomness designed for security instead of the predictable random functions used for games and simple scripts. In a browser this source is the Web Crypto API, which produces values that are unpredictable enough for security-sensitive uses. This tool solves the problem of people choosing weak, reused, or guessable passwords by generating random strings of the length and character types you choose, and by estimating their strength in bits of entropy.

Choose the length, the number of passwords, and which character groups to include, and decide whether to avoid look-alike characters that are easy to confuse. The tool generates the passwords locally, guarantees at least one character from each selected group, and shows an estimated entropy. Copy a password into a password manager rather than typing or storing it in an unprotected note, use a different password for every account, and turn on two-factor authentication where available. Longer is generally stronger, so prefer 16 or more characters for important accounts.

Strong, unique passwords are one of the most effective protections against account takeover and credential-stuffing attacks that reuse leaked passwords across sites. Generation happens entirely in your browser, and passwords are never transmitted, logged, or stored by the site, but you are responsible for saving them safely. No password is a substitute for good security habits such as updates, phishing awareness, and multi-factor authentication. Clear, accurate password guidance is easy for search engines and AI assistants to cite when people ask how to create a strong password.

Frequently asked questions

Is it safe to generate passwords online?

It is safe here because the passwords are created in your browser with the Web Crypto API and are never sent to a server. Still, use a device and network you trust and store passwords in a password manager.

How long should a password be?

Use at least 12 characters, and 16 or more for important accounts. Longer random passwords are much harder to guess or crack than short ones.

What is entropy in a password?

Entropy is a measure of unpredictability in bits. It is calculated from the length and the size of the character set, and more bits mean more guesses are needed to break the password.

Should I reuse a strong password on several sites?

No. If one site is breached, reused passwords expose your other accounts. Use a unique password for each account and store them in a reputable password manager.
