Random Password Generator

Frequently Asked Questions

How strong is my password?

The strength indicator considers both length and character diversity. Longer passwords with a mix of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols are significantly harder to crack. A 16-character password with all character types is considered “Very Strong” and would take centuries to brute force with current technology.

Should I include symbols in my passwords?

Yes. Symbols greatly increase the number of possible combinations an attacker must try. Adding even one symbol to a password dramatically expands the search space. Most secure websites require at least one special character for good reason.

Is the generated password stored or sent anywhere?

No. The entire generation process runs in your browser using your device’s built-in cryptographic random number generator (window.crypto.getRandomValues). No data is sent to any server, stored in any database, or tracked in any way. The app works fully offline after the initial page load.

What does “exclude ambiguous characters” mean?

When enabled, characters that look similar are removed: uppercase I and O, lowercase l and o, and the numbers 0 and 1. This makes passwords easier to read and type correctly, especially when printed or shared verbally, without significantly reducing password strength.
