Password Generator — Free Strong Random Passwords, Passphrases & PINs

About this tool
Generate a Strong, Random Password Instantly — Free, No Sign-Up
You need a strong password right now. Not "Password123!", not your dog's name with an exclamation mark, not the same password you've used on five other sites. A genuinely random, hard-to-crack string that no one can guess. Click the button and you have one in a second.
This generator uses crypto.getRandomValues() — the Web Crypto API built into every modern browser, the same source of randomness used by password managers, TLS handshakes, and OS key generation. Every character is drawn from hardware entropy. Nothing is predictable, nothing is sent to a server, and your passwords never leave your browser tab.
Four modes for four situations:
Password mode builds a classic random string from your selected character sets — uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols — at any length from 4 to 128 characters. Use at least 16 characters for any real account.
Passphrase mode picks random words from a 256-word list and joins them with a separator you choose. Four random words like "loyal-grave-swim-bear" are both high-entropy and human-memorable — the kind of password your brain can actually remember.
PIN mode generates a purely numeric code of 4 to 12 digits — for phone unlock codes, door locks, or any system that only accepts numbers.
Memorable mode alternates consonants and vowels to produce phonetically natural non-words like "Batoviru12" — easy to read aloud or type from memory, but not a real dictionary word.
Every password is scored live. The entropy meter shows exact Shannon entropy bits — how many guesses a brute-force attacker would need. The crack-time estimate assumes a GPU-class attacker at 10 billion guesses per second, the realistic worst case for an offline cracked hash. Seeing "millions of years" versus "3 seconds" makes the difference real.
No history is stored. No server is involved. Your passwords stay in your browser tab.
How to Use
- 1Choose a generation modeSelect Password for a classic random string, Passphrase for random words, PIN for a numeric code, or Memorable for a pronounceable non-word.
- 2Set the length and character typesDrag the length slider (we recommend at least 16 for account passwords). Tick uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols as needed. Enable "Exclude ambiguous" if you need to write it by hand.
- 3Configure passphrase or PIN options (if applicable)For Passphrase mode, set the word count (4+ words recommended), choose a separator, and optionally enable Capitalize Words and Append Number. For PIN mode, pick a length between 4 and 12.
- 4Read the entropy and strength scoreThe entropy bit count and crack-time estimate update instantly. Aim for 80+ bits for standard accounts and 100+ bits for master passwords or encryption keys.
- 5Copy the passwordClick "Copy password" or tap the password text itself. The password is saved to the session history panel automatically.
- 6Regenerate or adjust settingsHit the refresh icon at any time to generate a new password without touching your settings.
- 7Bulk generate (optional)Open the Bulk Generate section, choose a count (5, 10, 20, or 50), click Generate, then copy individually or use "Copy all" to paste the list into a spreadsheet or provisioning tool.
Common Use Cases
Built-in password generators in 1Password, LastPass, Bitwarden, and browsers are all excellent — use them. But there are situations where a standalone tool is more useful: when evaluating password strength independently, when generating credentials for a system you haven't yet added to your password manager, when onboarding users in bulk, or when you simply need to verify that a password meets a site's exact policy before saving it.
This tool gives you the entropy bit count and crack-time estimate that most password managers don't surface. You can see exactly why a 12-character password is weaker than a 5-word passphrase, and make an informed choice rather than accepting a manager's default. It also generates multiple formats simultaneously — random string, passphrase, PIN, memorable — so you can pick the right format for the right context. After generating, consider using our URL Encoder/Decoder if you need to pass the password safely in a URL parameter, or use our QR Code Generator to share a temporary password without copy-paste errors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, safe — and no interception is possible. The generator uses crypto.getRandomValues(), the cryptographically secure random number generator built into every modern browser, using hardware entropy. No password is ever transmitted to any server — everything runs locally in your browser tab. No network request is made at all during generation. When you close the tab, the password is gone.
For standard online accounts: 14–20 characters with mixed character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) gives you 90–100+ bits of entropy — extremely strong against any attack. For offline secrets like a password manager master key or disk encryption passphrase: aim for 20+ characters or a 5+ word passphrase (100+ bits). The entropy meter updates live so you see the exact strength before copying.
A passphrase is several random words joined by a separator — for example "loyal-grave-swim-bear". With 4 words from a 256-word list, you get roughly 32 bits of entropy per word — over 128 bits total — which is stronger than most 12–16 character passwords. The advantage is memorability: random words stick in human memory far better than a string of random characters. Passphrases are the recommended format for master passwords you need to memorize.
Yes. When you enable multiple character types, the "Guaranteed character diversity" algorithm ensures the final password always contains at least one character from each enabled type before filling the rest randomly. You will never accidentally get a password that has no numbers or no symbols, even for long passwords where a particular type might theoretically not appear by random chance.
Entropy in bits measures how many guesses an attacker needs to crack the password. Every additional bit doubles the search space — 40 bits means about a trillion guesses; 70 bits means a sextillion. The bit count is the most accurate way to compare password strength because it accounts for both length and character set size. The crack-time estimate converts the bit count to a human-readable duration at 10 billion guesses per second — a realistic GPU-class offline attacker scenario.
Edit the symbol set field directly — remove any characters the site bans. Many sites block @, #, %, or other special characters. You can also disable symbols entirely and use a longer password with just letters and numbers to compensate for the smaller character set. The entropy meter updates live as you edit, so you can see the effect on strength immediately.
It removes characters that look visually similar in many fonts: 0 and O (zero and capital O), and 1, l, and I (one, lowercase L, capital I). Enable this when you need to write the password on paper, read it aloud, or type it on a device without copy-paste. The reduction in character set size has negligible effect on entropy at 16+ character lengths.
No. Copy history is kept only in browser memory for the current tab session — never written to localStorage, sessionStorage, cookies, IndexedDB, or sent to any server. When you close or refresh the tab, it's permanently gone. A password tool should never persist sensitive data.
Yes. Open the Bulk Generate section, choose a count (5, 10, 20, or 50 passwords), and click Generate. All passwords use your current settings. Use "Copy all" to paste the entire list into a spreadsheet, user provisioning tool, or CSV for batch account creation.
