Password Generator

A password generator is a specialized security tool that automatically creates strong, random passwords. Instead of thinking up a password yourself – which often leads to weak or predictable combinations – this tool generates cryptographically secure passwords that are virtually impossible to guess or crack.

Our free online password generator uses state-of-the-art encryption technology to create truly random character combinations. You can individually customize the length, character types used, and special options like excluding confusable characters. The tool works completely locally in your browser – your generated passwords are never transmitted over the internet or stored on our servers.

Weak passwords are one of the main causes of security breaches on the internet. Commonly used passwords like "123456", "password", or "qwerty" are cracked by hackers within seconds. Even supposedly clever combinations like "Password123!" or your pet's name are no challenge for modern hacking tools.

A professional password generator protects you from these risks by creating truly random character combinations. The longer and more complex a password is, the harder it is to crack. A 16-character password with upper and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters can take billions of years to crack by brute force. Our generator shows you the strength of your password in real-time.

Using unique passwords for every online service is particularly important. If you use the same password for multiple accounts and one is compromised, all your accounts are at risk. With a password generator, you can effortlessly create an individual, secure password for each service. Combined with a password manager, you don't even have to remember these complex passwords.

Our password generator offers comprehensive customization options for maximum security and flexibility. You can set the length from 4 to 128 characters, although we recommend at least 12 characters for important accounts. You choose which character types to use: uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase letters (a-z), numbers (0-9), and special characters (!@#$%^&*). Combining all types provides the highest security.

The options for excluding problematic characters are particularly practical. The "Exclude similar characters" option removes characters like i, l, 1, L, o, 0, O that can be easily confused – ideal when you need to enter passwords manually. The "Exclude ambiguous characters" option filters out characters like curly braces or backslashes that are hard to find on some keyboards or can cause problems in certain systems.

The integrated password strength indicator analyzes your generated password in real-time and shows you whether it is weak, medium, strong, or very strong. This visual feedback helps you find the optimal balance between security and usability. The one-click copy function enables quick transfer of the password to your clipboard, and cryptographically secure random generation ensures that each password is truly unique.

Length over complexity: A 16-character password with only lowercase letters and numbers is more secure than an 8-character one with all character types. Use at least 12 characters for regular accounts and 16+ for important accounts like email, banking, or cloud storage.

Unique passwords everywhere: Never use the same password for multiple services. A password manager like 1Password, LastPass, or Bitwarden helps you securely manage hundreds of unique passwords without having to remember them.

Enable two-factor authentication: Even the strongest password can be compromised through phishing. Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible for an additional security layer.

Regular password changes: Change passwords for important accounts every 6-12 months or immediately if you learn of a data breach at a service. Use services like "Have I Been Pwned" to check if your data has been compromised.

Never share or write down: Never share passwords via email, chat, or phone. Don't write them on post-its or in unencrypted text files. Instead, use a trusted password manager with end-to-end encryption.
