Secure Password Generator

Frequently asked questions

Is this password generator secure?

Yes. Passwords are generated using crypto.getRandomValues(), the browser's cryptographically secure random number generator. This is the same entropy source used by security-critical applications.

Are my generated passwords stored or transmitted?

No. Password generation runs entirely in your browser. No generated password ever leaves your device or is stored anywhere.

How long should my password be?

At least 16 characters for general accounts, and 20+ for critical accounts like email, banking, and password managers. Length is the single biggest factor in password strength.

Should I use the symbols option?

Yes, when the site allows it. Adding symbols significantly increases the number of possible passwords, making brute-force attacks exponentially harder.
