📖 Help & User Guide
Everything you need to know about creating strong, secure passwords with our free tool
Quick Start Guide
Choose Your Password Type
Select between Random Password (default) or Passphrase. Random passwords are shorter and more complex, while passphrases are longer, easier to remember, and equally secure.
Adjust Length & Settings
Use the slider to set password length (8-128 characters recommended). Check or uncheck character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) based on your needs.
Generate Your Password
Click the "Generate Password" button. Your secure password appears instantly!
Copy & Use
Click the "Copy" button or press Ctrl+C to copy your password. Use it immediately for your account—passwords are never stored or sent anywhere!
⚙️ Understanding the Settings
🔢 Password Length
Recommended: 16+ characters
Longer passwords are exponentially harder to crack. While 8 characters is the minimum, 16+ provides excellent security.
🔤 Uppercase Letters (A-Z)
Recommended: Enabled
Adds capital letters to increase password complexity. Most websites require at least one uppercase letter.
🔡 Lowercase Letters (a-z)
Recommended: Enabled
Essential for readable passwords. Always keep this enabled for best compatibility.
🔢 Numbers (0-9)
Recommended: Enabled
Adds digits to your password. Required by most websites for account security.
🔣 Symbols (!@#$%)
Recommended: Enabled
Special characters dramatically increase password strength. Some sites require them.
🚫 Exclude Similar
Optional
Removes confusing characters like 0/O, 1/l/I. Useful for passwords you'll type manually.
🚫 Exclude Ambiguous
Optional
Removes characters that look similar in some fonts: { } [ ] ( ) / \ ' " ` ~ , ; : . < >
📝 Passphrase Mode
For memorability
Generates memorable phrases like "correct-horse-battery-staple". Easier to remember, still very secure.
🤔 Password vs Passphrase: Which Should You Use?
🔐 Random Password (Default)
Best for: Most online accounts, services, apps
Example: x9K#mL2@pQ5$wN8!
- Pros: Maximum security, shorter length, works everywhere
- Cons: Hard to remember (use a password manager!)
- Recommended for: Banking, email, social media, shopping sites
📝 Passphrase
Best for: Master passwords, encryption keys, accounts you access frequently
Example: Correct-Horse-Battery-Staple-92
- Pros: Easy to remember, type quickly, very secure when long
- Cons: Longer, may not meet some website requirements
- Recommended for: Password manager master password, computer login, phone unlock
Pro Tip
Use a passphrase for your password manager's master password (the one you need to remember), then use random passwords for everything else (stored in your password manager).

Important Security Note
Our tool generates passwords entirely in your browser using cryptographically secure random numbers. We never see, store, or transmit your passwords. They exist only on your device.
📦 Bulk Password Generation
Need multiple passwords at once? Our bulk generation feature helps you create many secure passwords in seconds.
How to Use Bulk Generation:
- Scroll to the "Bulk Generation" section on the main page
- Enter how many passwords you need (1-100)
- Your current settings (length, character types) will be applied to all passwords
- Click "Generate Bulk Passwords"
- Copy the entire list or individual passwords as needed
Use Cases for Bulk Generation
Perfect for IT administrators setting up multiple user accounts, developers needing test credentials, or anyone creating several accounts at once.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to generate passwords online?
Yes! Our generator runs entirely in your web browser using the Web Crypto API. Your passwords are generated locally on your device and are never sent to our servers or stored anywhere. We have no way to see your passwords.
How do I remember these complex passwords?
You don't need to! Use a password manager like 1Password, Bitwarden, or Dashlane to securely store all your passwords. You only need to remember one master password (we recommend using our passphrase generator for that).
What makes a password "strong"?
A strong password is long (16+ characters), uses a mix of character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), is completely random, and is unique to each account. Our generator creates passwords that meet all these criteria.
Should I change my passwords regularly?
Not necessarily. Modern security experts recommend only changing passwords if they've been compromised in a data breach. Focus instead on using unique, strong passwords for each account and enabling two-factor authentication.
Can I use this for business/commercial purposes?
Absolutely! Our tool is completely free to use for personal, business, or commercial purposes. We also offer an API for developers who want to integrate password generation into their applications.
What if a website doesn't accept special characters?
Simply uncheck the "Symbols" option before generating your password. This will create a password using only letters and numbers, which is accepted by virtually all websites.
How random are these passwords?
Extremely random! We use the Web Crypto API's getRandomValues() function, which provides cryptographically secure randomness. This is the same technology used by banks and government agencies.
What's the difference between excluding similar vs ambiguous characters?
Similar characters: 0 (zero) vs O (oh), 1 (one) vs l (el) vs I (eye)
Ambiguous characters: Brackets, quotes, and punctuation that might be hard to type or read: { } [ ] ( ) / \ ' " ` ~ , ; : . < >
