Password Generator

Features

Character Options

Uppercase Letters: Include capital letters A-Z for added complexity Lowercase Letters: Include lowercase letters a-z for variety Numbers: Add digits 0-9 to strengthen your password Symbols: Include special characters like \!@#$%^& for maximum security Exclude Ambiguous: Optionally remove easily confused characters (0/O, 1/l/I)

Password Strength Indicator

Our tool automatically calculates password strength based on: Length: Longer passwords are exponentially stronger Character Variety: Using multiple character types increases complexity Randomness: Cryptographically secure random generation

Strength Levels: Weak: Less than 8 characters or limited character types Fair: 8-11 characters with some variety Good: 12-15 characters with good variety Strong: 16+ characters with maximum variety

Bulk Password Generation

Generate multiple passwords at once:

1. Switch to the "Bulk Tool" tab
2. Enter how many passwords you need (1-100)
3. Configure character options
4. Click "Generate Passwords"
5. Download as text file or copy all to clipboard

Best Practices

Password Security Tips

1. Use Unique Passwords: Never reuse passwords across different accounts
2. Length Matters: Aim for at least 16 characters
3. Include All Types: Use uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols
4. Change Regularly: Update important passwords every 3-6 months
5. Use a Password Manager: Store passwords securely with tools like Bitwarden, 1Password, or LastPass

When to Use Different Settings

For Most Accounts (Recommended): Length: 16-20 characters All character types enabled Exclude ambiguous: OFF For Systems with Symbol Restrictions: Disable symbols if the system doesn't support them Increase length to compensate (20+ characters) For Typing-Heavy Scenarios: Enable "Exclude Ambiguous" to avoid confusion Consider shorter length (12-14) with all character types For Maximum Security (Critical Accounts): Length: 24-32 characters All character types enabled Store in password manager only

Use Cases

User Account Passwords: Secure logins for websites and applications Database Credentials: Strong passwords for database access API Keys: Generate random strings for API authentication Wi-Fi Passwords: Create secure network passwords Temporary Access Codes: One-time passwords for temporary access Application Secrets: Secure keys for configuration files

FAQ

Q: How secure are the generated passwords?

A: Our password generator uses PHP's random_int() function, which is cryptographically secure. The passwords are generated with true randomness and are not predictable.

Q: Are my generated passwords stored anywhere?

A: No. All passwords are generated client-side or temporarily in your browser session. We do not store, log, or transmit your generated passwords to any server.

Q: What length should I use?

A: For most use cases, 16 characters provides excellent security. For critical accounts (banking, email), consider 20-24 characters. The longer the better\!

Q: Should I use symbols?

A: Yes, if the system allows it. Symbols significantly increase password complexity. However, some older systems may not accept special characters.

Q: What does "Exclude Ambiguous" do?

A: It removes characters that look similar: 0 (zero) and O (letter O), 1 (one), l (lowercase L), and I (uppercase i). Useful when you need to type the password manually.

Q: Can I generate passwords for my team?

A: Yes\! Use the Bulk Tool to generate multiple passwords at once, then distribute them securely to your team members.

Q: How often should I change passwords?

A: For critical accounts: every 3-6 months. For regular accounts: when there's a security breach or annually. Always change default passwords immediately.

Q: Is it safe to use online password generators?

A: Our generator is safe because passwords are created using cryptographically secure random functions. However, always use trusted sources and consider using offline password generators for extremely sensitive credentials.
