About Password Generator
Passwords people invent follow patterns that attackers already know. Generated passwords are random, which is what makes them resistant to guessing — the length and the character set do the work.
How to use it
- Choose the length and character types.
- Generate a password.
- Copy it into your password manager.
Worth knowing
A random password is only useful if you never have to remember it, which means storing it in a password manager. Length matters more than exotic symbols for resisting brute force.
Common questions
- How long should it be?
- Longer than the site's minimum. Every extra character multiplies the work an attacker has to do.
- Should I reuse a strong password?
- No. Reuse means one breach compromises every account that shares it, however strong it is.
