Generated Password

Description

  • The Password Generator generates secure, complex, random passwords and provides a password strength score ranging from very weak to very strong.
  • You can specify the desired length and whether to include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols. Enable Exclude ambiguous characters when a password may need to be read or typed manually; this removes 0, O, o, 1, I, and l.
  • By default, the password generator creates 14 character passwords with all options enabled to produce a very strong and complex random password.
  • The Password Generator allows you to generate up to 100 randomly generated secure passwords. Just click the dropdown arrow on the Generate button to generate more than 1 password at a time.
  • The Password Generator allows you to export the passwords to the clipboard, as a CSV, JSON, or plain text file.

Facts

  • Use our Password Strength Tester to test the strength of your own passwords.
  • A password is a secret word or phrase that is used to authenticate a user's identity and provide access to a protected resource, such as a computer system, website, or online account.
  • Passwords are often the first line of defense against unauthorized access to personal or sensitive information, so it's important to choose strong and secure passwords.
  • Length and uniqueness matter more than mandatory character recipes. Follow the account's requirements and use a password manager when possible.
  • Password breaches are unfortunately common, and hackers can use stolen passwords to gain unauthorized access to accounts. Change a password when it may be compromised; routine forced changes can encourage predictable choices.
  • Using a password generator can help create strong passwords that are less likely to be guessed or hacked, reducing the risk of identity theft or data breaches.
  • It's important to use a strong and unique password for each online account, and our password generator can help generate unique passwords for each account.
  • Password generators are a useful tool, but they should not be relied on solely for password security. It's also important to regularly update passwords, use two-factor authentication when possible, and avoid sharing passwords with others.
  • Passwords should never contain personal information like birth date, address, or name.

Definitions and scope

This page creates random character strings from selected sets and shows a zxcvbn estimate. A generated string becomes a password only after a service accepts and stores it.

Length, uniqueness, generation quality, service rate limits, breach exposure, and password storage all affect security. Character variety alone is not a guarantee.

Worked example

Generate a 20-character value with enabled sets, save it in a password manager, and use it for one account only. The displayed score is an estimate, not a certification.

Assumptions and limitations

The browser must support Web Crypto. Selected sets and strict inclusion rules shape the output distribution. Service-specific allowed characters may require regeneration.

Do not rely on this page for a regulated key ceremony or assume a high score prevents phishing, malware, credential theft, insecure server storage, or reuse.

Common mistakes

Common mistakes include reusing one generated password, emailing it to yourself, forcing periodic changes without compromise, and assuming symbols compensate for short length.

Privacy and accuracy

Generation runs in this browser and output is not submitted to Awesome Tools. Clipboard history, extensions, screen capture, exports, and compromised devices remain risks.

Password Generator FAQ

Should I replace my password manager's generator?

No. A reputable password manager can generate, store, and autofill unique values with less exposure. Use this page as a utility when appropriate.
