How to Use

Select your desired password length, choose which character types to include, and click generate. The tool will create a secure password and provide detailed analysis of its strength and security characteristics.

Password Security Best Practices

  • Use Unique Passwords: Never reuse passwords across accounts
  • Minimum Length: Aim for at least 12 characters
  • Character Variety: Include uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
  • Avoid Patterns: Don't use sequential characters or common words
  • Regular Updates: Change passwords periodically
  • Password Manager: Use a secure password manager for storage

Entropy and Security

What is Entropy? Entropy measures the randomness and unpredictability of a password. Higher entropy means the password is harder to guess or crack.

Low Entropy (0-32 bits): Easily crackable

Medium Entropy (32-64 bits): Moderate security

High Entropy (64+ bits): Very secure

Calculation Factors:

  • Character set size
  • Password length
  • Randomness quality

Common Password Mistakes

  • Personal Information: Names, birthdays, addresses
  • Common Words: Dictionary words or phrases
  • Sequential Characters: 12345, qwerty, abcdef
  • Short Lengths: Passwords under 8 characters
  • Pattern Repetition: Repeated character sequences
  • Predictable Substitutions: Using @ for 'a', 3 for 'e'
Pro Tip

Consider using passphrases instead of passwords for better memorability and security. A passphrase like "correct horse battery staple" is much stronger than a complex but short password. Combine this with a password manager for the best of both worlds: strong security and easy access.
