Generating a Strong Password

This tool generates random, secure passwords of a length you choose, optionally including uppercase letters, numbers, and symbols. A longer password with mixed character types is significantly harder to crack than a short, predictable one — this generates one instantly without you having to think one up.

What Makes a Password Strong?

A strong password is long, random, and uses mixed character types. Length is the most critical factor — each additional character exponentially increases the number of combinations an attacker must try.

Password Entropy

Entropy measures password unpredictability in bits. Entropy = log₂(C^L) where C = character set size and L = length. A password with 60+ bits of entropy is considered strong; 80+ bits is very strong for most purposes.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Never use dictionary words, names, or dates of birth. Do not reuse passwords across accounts — if one service is compromised, reused passwords expose all other accounts. Use a unique password for every important login.

Password Managers

A password manager stores and auto-fills passwords so you only need to remember one strong master password. It also alerts you to weak, reused, or compromised passwords, significantly improving your overall security.
