Free generator · runs 100% in your browser
Need a password nobody can crack?
Pick random for maximum strength or a passphrase for something you can actually type on a TV remote. Everything is generated on your device with cryptographic randomness — nothing you make here is sent, stored, or seen by anyone, including us.
Your new password
Privacy: every password is generated on this page, on your device, using your browser’s cryptographic random generator. Nothing is transmitted or saved — refresh the page and it’s gone forever.

Passwords are step one — want the rest handled?
We set up password managers on all your devices, lock down email and banking with two-factor, and clean up hacked accounts for Outer Banks locals and businesses. No lectures, ever.

Why length beats cleverness
Every extra character multiplies the attacker’s work — that’s why the length slider matters more than any other setting. A 16-character random password from this tool has ~100 bits of entropy; cracking rigs that chew through billions of guesses a second would still need longer than the age of the universe. “P@ssw0rd1!” falls in seconds because humans all substitute the same way.
How this generator works (and why that matters)
It uses your browser’s crypto.getRandomValues — the same cryptographic randomness your bank’s website uses — never the predictable Math.random. And it runs entirely on your device: the password exists only on your screen until you copy it somewhere. Be wary of generator sites that create passwords on a server; you have no idea who else saw them.
Random vs. passphrase — which one where?
Random for anything a password manager will remember for you (which should be almost everything). Passphrase for the handful you type by hand: your password manager’s master password, your computer login, the WiFi, streaming logins you punch in with a TV remote. Pelican-Sandbar-Lantern-42 goes into a remote a lot easier than x9$Kq!vR2m.
Where to keep them (hint: not the notebook)
A password manager — 1Password, Bitwarden, or Apple’s built-in Passwords app. One strong master passphrase unlocks unique random passwords for every site, synced to all your devices. It also defuses the real danger: reusing one password everywhere, so a single website breach hands over your whole life. We set these up on house calls across the Outer Banks all the time.
