Why Use a Password Generator?
Humans are notoriously bad at creating random passwords. We tend to use dictionary words, predictable patterns, and personal information — all of which make passwords easy to crack. A password generator creates truly random strings that resist brute-force and dictionary attacks.
How to Use This Tool
- Set your desired password length (8–128 characters)
- Choose which character types to include
- Click “Generate” to create a new password
- Copy the password to your clipboard
Password Strength Guidelines
| Length | Character Types | Estimated Crack Time |
|---|---|---|
| 8 chars | Letters only | Hours |
| 12 chars | Letters + numbers | Months |
| 16 chars | All character types | Centuries |
| 20+ chars | All character types | Heat death of universe |
Tips for Password Security
