Randomness and password safety
Random characters come from the browser's Web Crypto API through Nano ID. The default alphabet contains 88 characters, not all 95 printable ASCII characters. For independent uniform choices, generation entropy is length x log2(alphabet size). The 16-character default therefore gives approximately 103.4 bits. This is not a prediction of cracking time.
NIST SP 800-63B-4 sets a 15-character minimum for passwords used alone, and permits a minimum of eight when used with multi-factor authentication. These are requirements for authentication providers, not a certification of this generator. NIST does not recommend mandatory mixtures of character types.
Use a different password for each account and keep it in a password manager. A long password does not prevent phishing or protect a compromised device. Enable multi-factor authentication and use phishing-resistant options such as passkeys or security keys where supported.
Security correction: September 7, 2026
An earlier version included a pre-generated password in the downloaded page HTML. If you used that initially displayed value without generating a fresh password, replace it on the account where you used it. This version starts with no password and generates new values only after your action in the browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where are passwords generated?
Generation runs in this browser after you select Generate. The generator does not upload the results, put them in the URL or save them in browser storage. Copying places a password in your device clipboard, which may be synced or retained by your operating system.
Does every selected character set appear?
Selected sets define the allowed alphabet. Each position is sampled independently, so a password is not guaranteed to contain every selected type. Check any requirements imposed by the account where you will use it.
Is the entropy estimate a safety guarantee?
No. The estimate describes the number of equally likely outputs from this generator. It does not measure phishing resistance, a compromised device, password reuse, or how another service stores passwords.
