How to Use the Random Password Generator
- Set the length slider anywhere from 8 to 64 characters. Longer strings greatly increase search space.
- Choose which character classes to include. Symbols and numbers raise entropy, while pronounceable mode alternates consonants and vowels for easier typing.
- Enter a quantity (up to 20 at once) and an optional prefix for tagging environment-specific passwords like “DEV-”.
- Press Generate Passwords or tap the space bar. Results appear in a monospace block and can be copied with one click.
- Review the history panel to see previous batches, including toggles and timestamps, so you can recreate them if needed.
Security-Oriented Features
- Character Control: Fine-tune uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbol inclusion. Toggle ambiguous characters to avoid lookalikes like 0/O and 1/l.
- Pronounceable Mode: Generates alternating consonant/vowel strings plus optional digits, ideal when you need memorable yet strong phrases.
- Bulk Generation: Produce up to 20 passwords in one batch, perfect for provisioning new accounts or rotating API keys.
- Local-Only: Everything runs in your browser—no passwords are sent to servers. Clear history when you are done for extra privacy.
- Keyboard Shortcut: Tap Space to re-run the last configuration without touching the mouse.
Tips & Best Practices
Use at least 12 characters when your service allows it. Mix every character class unless you are constrained by legacy systems. For admins distributing credentials, generate a batch with removal of ambiguous characters and copy it into your password manager immediately. Developers can pair this page with the Random Number Generator to create IDs or salts alongside passwords.
Need to allocate login details to teams? Use the Random Team Generator to assign passwords to groups, or the Random Name Picker to determine the order in which recipients choose their credentials. Because this tool is offline-friendly, you can keep it open on secure machines with no internet access.
