orbitHow to generate a password
- Choose a length between 8 and 64 characters. 16 or more is recommended; 20 is the default.
- Decide whether to include symbols. Some websites do not accept them.
- Press Generate password as often as you like, then Copy the one you want.
What makes these passwords strong
Passwords are created with crypto.getRandomValues, the cryptographically secure random number generator built into your browser — not the predictable Math.random. Every character is chosen independently and without bias.
The character set leaves out symbols that are easy to confuse, such as I, l, 1, O and 0, so passwords are easier to read and type. A 20-character password from this generator has more than 115 bits of randomness, far beyond what can be guessed by brute force.
Password tips
- Use a unique password for every account. When one service is breached, attackers try the same password everywhere else.
- Use a password manager so you only need to remember one strong master password.
- Turn on two-factor authentication for email, banking and social media.
- Length beats complexity. A longer password is stronger than a short one with many symbols.
