Online Password Generator
Generate a secure password
Passwords are generated locally in your browser only – nothing is transmitted to any server.
Do not use words
A secure password should consist of many characters and no words that appear in dictionaries. For example, MeinHausAufSylt is a very poor password. It does use quite a few characters, but it consists of four simple words that can be found in any dictionary. As a result, it is very easy to guess.
Reduce vulnerability to brute-force attacks
Use different characters and character types, such as letters, digits and special characters. Mix upper- and lowercase letters. If the account for which you want to generate a password does not allow special characters, you should at least use the maximum number of characters that is supported.
A complex and long password can only be guessed by means of a brute-force attack. With the brute-force method, all possible combinations are tried until the correct password is found. We have written a detailed article that explains exactly how brute-force attacks work.
Use a professional password generator
The password generator above already creates very secure passwords. Nevertheless, for generating passwords we always recommend using Password Depot. Among other things, Password Depot also uses dictionaries to estimate the quality of passwords. These dictionaries contain not only words from the language, but also passwords that have already been cracked and published. In addition, the password generator in Password Depot displays a quality rating that is based not only on a simple algorithm but, as mentioned at the beginning, also on dictionary lookups.
Use a password manager
Nobody can remember good passwords. Conversely, a password that is easy to remember is rarely truly secure, because it is obviously not complex enough. For this reason, you should create and store your passwords in a password manager such as Password Depot. This online password generator provides you with an easy way to create a strong password, but you should also store this password securely in an encrypted database. With Password Depot, you can then conveniently have these credentials filled in on the internet via your browser.
