Password Generator: Create Strong Passwords
Why strong passwords matter
Weak or reused passwords are a leading cause of account compromise and data breaches. Random, long passwords drastically reduce the risk of guessing or credential-stuffing attacks.
Longer passwords with mixed character sets (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) resist brute-force and dictionary attacks. This tool lets you choose length and character sets so you can meet policy requirements (e.g. 16+ characters, symbols required).
Use it for initial setup of services, API keys (where the service expects a generated secret), or any place where a human-readable but hard-to-guess string is needed. For ongoing sign-ins, prefer a password manager and, where possible, SSO and MFA.
How to use this tool
Choose the length (e.g. 16 or 24) and which character sets to include: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols. Then generate a password. The tool shows the result and a simple strength indicator.
Enable "Exclude similar characters" to avoid easily confused characters like O/0 and I/l/1. That helps when you or others type the password manually.
Copy the password into a password manager or the target system. Do not send it over chat or email; treat it as a secret.
Best practices
Store passwords in a reputable password manager. Reusing the same password across sites multiplies risk; a manager lets you use a unique strong password per service.
Rotate credentials when team members leave or when access requirements change. For APIs and automation, prefer tokens or keys that can be scoped and revoked.
For teams, enable SSO and MFA to reduce reliance on shared or weak passwords. This generator is still useful for initial setup, recovery codes, or local secrets.
When not to use it
Do not use a single generated password for multiple critical accounts. Do not paste generated passwords into unencrypted logs or tickets. For high-security contexts, follow your organization's policy on length, rotation, and storage.
