Random Password Generator
Create cryptographic-grade secure passwords that protect your personal accounts from data breaches.
How to Generate a Strong Password
Weak passwords are the most common cause of account breaches. A strong password is long, random, and contains a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Fixlytools Password Generator creates cryptographically random passwords entirely in your browser — the generated password is never sent anywhere.
- Set Password Length: Use the slider to choose your password length. Aim for at least 16 characters for most accounts and 20+ for sensitive ones like banking or email.
- Choose Character Types: Toggle on or off: uppercase letters (A–Z), lowercase letters (a–z), numbers (0–9), and symbols (!@#\$%^&*). For maximum security, enable all four.
- Generate: Click "Generate Password" to instantly create a cryptographically random password using your selected settings.
- Copy & Use: Click the copy button to copy the password to your clipboard, then paste it into your account or password manager.
Key Features
- Cryptographic Randomness: Uses the browser Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) to generate truly random passwords — not pseudo-random.
- Strength Indicator: A colour-coded strength meter rates your password from Very Weak to Very Strong.
- Fully Customisable: Control length (6–64 characters) and choose which character types to include.
- One-Click Copy: Instantly copy the generated password to your clipboard without selecting text manually.
- Never Transmitted: The generated password exists only in your browser memory. It is never sent to any server or stored anywhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a strong password be?
Security experts recommend a minimum of 12 characters, with 16 or more being ideal. The longer the password, the exponentially harder it is to crack. For highly sensitive accounts (email, banking), use 20 characters or more.
Should I use symbols in my password?
Yes. Adding symbols like !@#%^&* significantly increases the number of possible combinations, making a brute-force attack much harder. Always enable symbols for sensitive accounts.
Is the generated password stored anywhere?
No. Passwords are generated inside your browser using the Web Crypto API and exist only in memory. They are never sent to any server, saved in a database, or logged in any way.
How do I remember a complex random password?
You should not try to memorise random passwords. Use a reputable password manager such as Bitwarden (free and open source), 1Password, or Dashlane to store your passwords securely.
What is the difference between random and pseudo-random passwords?
Pseudo-random generators use mathematical formulas that can theoretically be predicted. True random generators (like the Web Crypto API used here) use unpredictable sources of entropy, making the output genuinely random and suitable for security use.
