12 characters is a frequently cited minimum for reasonable security. This page defaults to that length — use the slider to go longer for anything more sensitive.
Create several passwords at once using the settings above — useful for provisioning multiple accounts.
Type any password to score it instantly. This runs entirely in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere, logged, or stored.
12 characters with all character types is reasonable for everyday accounts, but consider going longer for anything financial or work-related.
At exactly 12 characters, using every character type matters more for entropy than it does at longer lengths — don't skip symbols here if the system allows them.
Some systems require more than 12 characters — verify before assuming this length is sufficient.
With all character types enabled, 12 characters provides roughly 78 bits of entropy — reasonable for everyday accounts, though longer is better for sensitive ones.
It's widely cited as a practical minimum that balances security against ease of typing and remembering, though 16+ is increasingly recommended.
Yes — use the length slider to increase to 20 or more for financial accounts, email, or a password manager's master password.
