Password Generator

What Is a Password Generator?

A password generator creates a random string of characters for you to use as a password, instead of asking you to invent one yourself. People tend to choose passwords based on names, dates, and familiar words, which makes them easier for someone else to guess. A generator removes that habit by picking characters at random from the sets you select, producing a password that does not follow a personal pattern and is not based on anything meaningful about you.

This tool lets you control both the length of the password and which character types appear in it. You can include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, or leave any of those out if a particular website does not allow them. A strength meter appears with each result to give you a quick visual guide based on the length and variety you chose, so you can adjust the settings and generate again if the result looks too weak.

How to Use the Password Generator

1. Drag the Length slider to choose how long the password should be, from 8 to 64 characters.
2. Tick or untick the boxes for Uppercase, Lowercase, Numbers, and Symbols to set which characters can be used.
3. Click the Generate button and check the password and strength meter that appear below.
4. Click the Copy button to copy the password, then paste it where you need it and save it safely.

Who Uses a Password Generator?

Anyone creating a new account, resetting an old password, or replacing a password they have reused in several places can benefit from this tool. It is especially useful for people who manage many logins for work, shopping, banking, and social accounts and want each one to be different. Families setting up accounts for the first time and small teams creating shared service logins also use generators to avoid falling back on easy, predictable choices.

Tips for Stronger Passwords

• Choose a longer password where a site allows it — in general, longer passwords are stronger than shorter ones, even before you add symbols.
• Use a different password for every account, so a problem with one account does not put your other accounts at risk.
• Save each new password in a reputable password manager instead of writing it down or reusing a variation you can remember easily.
