About this tool

Human-chosen passwords are predictable - birthdays, pet names, and common substitutions are the first things attackers try. This generator builds passwords from your chosen character sets using your browser's cryptographically secure random source (the Web Crypto API's crypto.getRandomValues()), run entirely in your browser - the password is never sent to any server or network connection, which you can confirm yourself in your browser's DevTools Network tab while generating.

Length and character-set variety are the main levers for strength: the Entropy figure shown with each result is a straightforward bits-of-randomness calculation, not a dictionary-aware strength check like the algorithms some password managers use.

Use it when setting up an account, updating credentials, or replacing a weak password - it gives you a strong password immediately without having to work out the rules yourself.

How to Use Password Generator

Settings

Select length and character types.

Customize

Exclude similar characters or symbols.

Generate

View strength rating and generate passwords.

Copy

Copy passwords or download as .txt.

Common Workflows

Set Length and Character Types

Choose a length from 4 to 128 characters, then toggle lowercase, uppercase, numbers, symbols, or add custom characters.

Refine with Exclude-Similar or Pronounceable

Turn on Exclude Similar to drop easily-confused characters (O, 0, o, I, l, 1), or switch to Pronounceable for a consonant-vowel pattern that's easier to read and type.

Generate and Check the Rating

Click Generate to create 1 to 50 passwords at once; each result's entropy figure and strength label update based on your current settings.

Copy or Download

Copy an individual password, copy all of them at once, or download the full list as a .txt file.

Best For

  • Builds each password locally in your browser from your chosen character sets - length, uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols, custom characters, and an exclude-similar-characters option.
  • Shows an entropy figure (bits of randomness, from length and character-set size) and a strength label with every password - a straightforward calculation, not a dictionary-aware check.
  • Nothing is generated on a server or sent over the network - generate 1 to 50 passwords at once, then copy or download them as a .txt file.

Examples

How the default settings score

Settings

Length 16, lowercase + uppercase + numbers enabled, symbols off, Exclude Similar on (the tool's defaults on load)

Result

Character set size 56 (26 lowercase + 26 uppercase + 10 numbers, minus 6 excluded look-alike characters), Entropy 92.9 bits, Strength label "Strong"

Entropy is calculated as length x log2(character set size) - a measure of theoretical randomness from length and charset variety alone. It isn't a dictionary-aware check like some password managers use, so it won't flag a password for being a real word or a predictable pattern.

Use Cases

Setting up a new account with a strong password

Generate a long password with a mix of character types instead of reusing or slightly modifying an old one.

Creating an easier-to-type pronounceable password

Switch to Pronounceable mode for a consonant-vowel pattern that's simpler to read aloud or type manually, at the cost of the full randomness of character-set mode.

Generating a batch of passwords for multiple accounts

Set a count up to 50 and generate them all at once, then copy or download the list.

Replacing weak or reused passwords

Generate fresh, longer passwords with mixed character types to replace ones flagged in a personal security review.

Common Mistakes

Problem

Assuming a strong password is enough on its own

Solution

Character selection uses the Web Crypto API's secure random source (crypto.getRandomValues()), so the characters are unpredictable - but a password is only as safe as where you store it and how often you reuse it. Use a different one for every account.

Problem

Treating the strength label as a full security audit

Solution

It's based purely on entropy (length and charset size) - it doesn't check for dictionary words, keyboard patterns, or personal information the way tools like zxcvbn do.

Problem

Saving the downloaded .txt file long-term

Solution

The .txt download is meant for quick bulk transfer (like provisioning several accounts at once) - move passwords into a password manager afterward rather than keeping a plaintext file around.

Problem

Expecting Pronounceable mode to use your selected character types

Solution

Pronounceable mode ignores the lowercase/uppercase/numbers/symbols toggles entirely - it always builds from its own fixed consonant-vowel pattern.

Tips & Best Practices

Prefer length and character variety over memorability

The Entropy figure grows with both length and charset size - a longer password with mixed character types scores higher than a short, complex-looking one.

Turn on Exclude Similar for manually-typed passwords

It removes easily-confused characters (O, 0, o, I, l, 1), which helps when you'll be typing the password by hand rather than pasting it.

Move generated passwords into a password manager

This tool doesn't store anything - copy or download results, then save them in a password manager rather than a plaintext note or file.

Use the .txt download only for short-term bulk transfer

It's convenient for moving several freshly generated passwords into a provisioning script or spreadsheet once - delete the file after you've stored the passwords properly.

Limitations

Needs a browser with the Web Crypto API

Character selection uses crypto.getRandomValues(), which every current browser provides. There is deliberately no weaker fallback: if the Web Crypto API is unavailable, generation fails instead of falling back to Math.random().

Strength rating is entropy-only

The Entropy figure and strength label come from a simple length x log2(charset size) formula - there's no dictionary, pattern, or personal-information check behind it.

Pronounceable mode ignores character-type toggles

When Pronounceable is on, the password is built entirely from a fixed consonant-vowel pattern - the lowercase/uppercase/numbers/symbols/custom settings have no effect.

No password manager integration

This tool only generates and lets you copy or download passwords - it doesn't save, sync, or connect to any password manager or vault.

Count is capped at 50 per generation

Even if a higher number is entered, the tool generates at most 50 passwords in one run.

No built-in storage

Generated passwords aren't saved between visits - copy or download them immediately if you need to keep them.

Comparisons

This Tool vs. a Password Manager's Built-In Generator

Both generate passwords locally, but a password manager also stores and fills them.

This Tool (Password Generator)A Password Manager's Generator
Randomness sourceThe Web Crypto API's secure random source (crypto.getRandomValues()), run in your browserTypically the same Web Crypto API random source
StorageNone - copy or download results yourselfSaves generated passwords directly into an encrypted vault
Strength checkEntropy (length x log2 charset size) onlyOften includes dictionary/pattern-aware strength scoring

Which should you use?

Use this tool for a quick, private, no-account password (or a batch of them); use a password manager's generator when you want the result saved, synced, and auto-filled without manual copying.

FAQs

Security-conscious users want to know exactly how these passwords are generated and whether anything is logged. Everything happens locally in your browser - the FAQ below covers the randomness source, how the strength rating is calculated, and what to do with generated passwords afterward.

Are these passwords cryptographically secure?

Yes for the random source: every character is chosen with the Web Crypto API's crypto.getRandomValues() (with unbiased selection and a secure shuffle), not Math.random(). Each character type you tick is guaranteed to appear when the length allows it. The strength label is still a simple entropy estimate, not a dictionary-aware audit.

Is my password sent to a server or logged anywhere?

No. CoditTools's password generator runs entirely in your browser - nothing is sent over the network or logged. You can verify this yourself in your browser's DevTools Network tab while generating.

How is the strength rating calculated?

It's a straightforward entropy calculation - password length multiplied by log2 of your character set size - shown in bits, with a label (Very weak to Very strong) based on that number. It doesn't check for dictionary words or predictable patterns.

Should I save generated passwords in the downloadable .txt file?

Only for short-term bulk transfer, like provisioning several new accounts at once. A plaintext file isn't a safe place to keep passwords long-term - move them into a password manager and delete the file afterward.

Does Pronounceable mode use my selected character types?

No. Pronounceable mode builds passwords from its own fixed consonant-vowel pattern regardless of which character-type toggles are on.
