Complete Guide to Password Security

How to Use This Password Generator

Step 1: Choose Password Length

Use the slider to select your desired password length. We recommend at least 12 characters for optimal security. Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack.

Step 2: Select Character Types

Choose which character types to include. For maximum security, enable all options: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.

Step 3: Generate and Copy

Click "Generate Password" to create your secure password, then use the copy button to safely transfer it to your password manager or account.

Password Security Best Practices

Length Matters Most

A 12-character password with mixed characters would take centuries to crack with current technology. Each additional character exponentially increases security.

Use Unique Passwords

Never reuse passwords across multiple accounts. If one account is compromised, all your accounts remain safe with unique passwords.

Enable Two-Factor Authentication

Strong passwords combined with 2FA provide the best protection. Even if your password is compromised, your account remains secure.

Understanding Password Strength

⚠️

Weak Password

Short length, limited character types. Can be cracked in minutes or hours.

Medium Password

Decent length, some variety. Better protection but still vulnerable to advanced attacks.

🛡️

Strong Password

Long length, all character types. Provides excellent protection against all attack methods.

Password Strength Factors

Character Set Size

  • • Lowercase only: 26 characters
  • • + Uppercase: 52 characters
  • • + Numbers: 62 characters
  • • + Symbols: 95+ characters

Time to Crack Examples

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should my password be?

We recommend at least 12 characters for good security, with 16+ characters being ideal for sensitive accounts. Each additional character exponentially increases the time needed to crack your password.

Is it safe to use an online password generator?

Our password generator is completely safe because it works entirely in your browser. No passwords are sent to our servers, stored, or logged. The generation happens locally on your device using secure random number generation.

Should I include symbols in my password?

Yes, including symbols significantly increases password strength by expanding the character set. However, check if the website or service you're using supports all symbols, as some have restrictions.

How often should I change my passwords?

Change passwords immediately if a service reports a breach. Otherwise, strong unique passwords don't need regular changes unless you suspect compromise. Focus on using unique passwords for each account instead.

What's the difference between a password and a passphrase?

A passphrase is a longer password made of multiple words, often easier to remember but just as secure. For example: "correct horse battery staple" is a famous passphrase that's both secure and memorable.
