Password Generator

Make a strong password.

Random, strong, and ready to use. Generated right here in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere.

Runs locally. This tool uses your browser's built-in cryptographic random number generator. No password you create here is ever transmitted, stored, or seen by anyone but you.

Why it matters

What makes a password strong?

Length beats complexity

A 20-character password is far stronger than a short one with symbols. Every character you add makes brute-force attacks dramatically harder.

Random is non-negotiable

Passwords based on words, birthdays, or patterns can be guessed. True randomness — like this generator uses — cannot.

One password per account

When a site gets breached, attackers try your password everywhere. Unique passwords mean one breach stays contained.

Now — where do you keep it?

A strong password you can't remember is only useful if it's stored somewhere trustworthy. A password manager does that job — but not all of them deserve the trust people put in them. Here are two honest options worth considering.

Bitwarden
Best for most people

Open source, independently audited, and free for personal use. Your vault is encrypted before it ever leaves your device. Works across all your devices without friction.

KeePassXC
Best for maximum control

Your vault is a file that lives on your machine — no server, no subscription, no breach exposure beyond your own device. Cross-device sync is your responsibility, which is exactly the point.

What to avoid: free password managers from unknown developers, browser extensions with vague privacy policies, and LastPass — which suffered a significant breach and handled the disclosure poorly. Your browser's built-in password manager (Chrome, Edge) is better than nothing, but those companies are in the data business. Know the tradeoff.
