Generate secure, random passwords instantly. Customizable length and character types. Runs in your browser; nothing is sent to our server.
Creating strong passwords is crucial for protecting your online accounts. A password generator creates random, secure passwords that are nearly impossible to guess or hack. Our free online password generator helps you create secure random passwords in seconds without any installation.
Strong passwords combine uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters. The longer the password and more character variety, the more secure it is. This secure password generator creates truly random passwords using cryptographically secure methods that meet the highest security standards. You can generate passwords from 4 to 128 characters long.
Anyone who needs to create secure credentials should use a random password generator. This includes IT professionals, developers, security-conscious individuals, and anyone managing multiple online accounts. Since our tool is 100% browser-based, your passwords are never stored, transmitted, or logged â your data never leaves your device.
Quick answer: set the length (16 or more is a good default), keep uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols ticked, and click Generate Password. Copy it into a password manager and use a different one for every account.
This table uses all four character types (88 possible characters), the figures this tool reports. Each added character multiplies the work for an attacker.
| Length | Entropy (bits) | Estimated crack time |
|---|---|---|
| 8 | 51.7 | 2 days |
| 10 | 64.6 | 44 years |
| 12 | 77.5 | 342 thousand years |
| 16 | 103.4 | 21 trillion years |
| 20 | 129.2 | over a quadrillion years |
The estimate assumes 10 billion guesses a second in an offline attack. If you use fewer character types, you need more length to reach the same strength.
A random string such as k7V#qT2mR9xLp4Wz is hard to guess, but also hard to remember, so it suits a password manager. A passphrase made of four or more unrelated random words is easier to type and remember, and works well for a master password or a device login. Whichever you use, it must be random, not a phrase or lyric you know.

How long should a password be?
At least 12 characters for ordinary accounts and 16 or more for important ones such as email, banking and your password manager. Length matters more than complexity.
Is a random password better than one I make up?
Yes. People tend to pick predictable words, dates and patterns, even when they add a number or symbol. A random generator has no such habits, so each character is unpredictable.
Is this password generator safe to use?
The passwords are created in your browser using the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues), the same source browsers use for security features. ToolPond does not see or store them. Still, always copy them straight into a password manager.
What does the entropy number mean?
Entropy, in bits, measures how many guesses an attacker would need. Each extra bit doubles the number of possibilities. This tool works it out as length multiplied by log2 of the number of characters in the pool.
What does the crack time assume?
It assumes an offline attack making 10 billion guesses per second and succeeding halfway through the possibilities. It is a rough guide, not a guarantee. Real attackers, and real hardware, vary.
Should I include symbols?
Symbols add strength, but extra length adds more. If a site rejects some symbols, use a longer password with letters and numbers instead. Sixteen random letters and numbers are stronger than eight characters with symbols.
Should I use the same strong password everywhere?
No. If one site is breached, attackers try the same password on other sites. Use a different random password for every account and let a password manager remember them.
How often should I change passwords?
Change them when there is a reason, such as a breach notice, a shared account or a lost device, rather than on a fixed schedule. Turn on two-factor authentication where you can.
Does the tool keep a history of my passwords?
No. Passwords exist only on your screen until you copy them. Reloading the page clears them.
