About Password Generator

Why this site exists

Password advice online is a mess of contradictions: change it every 30 days, add a symbol, never reuse it, memorize all of them. Much of that advice is a decade out of date and some of it makes people less safe.

This site pairs a generator that produces genuinely random output with writing that reflects what current guidance actually says. The tool is the easy part. Explaining why length beats symbol-stuffing is the part people needed.

How the tool works

Passwords are generated in your browser using the Web Crypto API, the same cryptographically secure randomness source your browser uses for TLS. They are never transmitted, because there is no server-side component to transmit them to.

You can verify that. Disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the generator keeps working. Open your browser network tab and you will see no request carrying a generated value.

What accuracy means here

Strength estimates are based on entropy math rather than the arbitrary weak/medium/strong meters that reward adding an exclamation mark. Where the estimate is conservative, that is deliberate.
