Strong password generator
Cryptographically random passwords in your browser. Nothing is posted to the server — generate, copy, store in a password manager.
Entropy estimate loads after generate.
Tips
- Prefer a password manager over reusing phrases.
- 16+ characters with mixed sets beats short “clever” passwords.
- For Wi-Fi or shared secrets, 20–24 with symbols is a solid default.
Why strong passwords matter
Random secrets you generate locally
Reused or short passwords are still how many sites get breached. A free strong password generator should never need your email or a server round-trip for the secret itself. This tool builds cryptographically random strings in the browser so you can copy them into a manager and move on.
Use longer lengths for admin panels, hosting logins and Wi-Fi. Toggle symbols on for maximum alphabet size; use “avoid ambiguous characters” when someone will type the password by hand. Pair good passwords with 2FA and keep site TLS healthy via the free SSL checker.

FAQ
Password generator FAQs
Is this password generator really private?
Yes. Passwords are created with the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) in your browser. The chosen string is not submitted to jfreemanhub.com — generate, copy and store it in a password manager yourself.
How long should a strong password be?
For most accounts, 16+ characters from mixed sets (upper, lower, numbers, symbols) is a solid baseline. Wi-Fi or shared secrets often use 20–24. Length beats clever substitutions of short words.
What does the entropy estimate mean?
It is a rough bits estimate from alphabet size times length — a simple strength signal, not a guarantee against every attack. Prefer unique random passwords per site plus multi-factor authentication where available.
Should I avoid ambiguous characters like 0 and O?
Optional. Turning on “Avoid 0O1lI” helps when you must type a password by hand (TV, router sticker). For manager-stored passwords, full alphabets are fine and slightly stronger for the same length.
Can you harden my WordPress or hosting logins?
Yes. Jamie Freeman sets up UK hosting, WordPress hardening, SSL and sensible access practices for client sites. Use this free generator for one-off secrets; book a call for site-wide security and hosting care.
Need hosting and logins hardened?
UK hosting with SSL, backups and WordPress care — or a full build with access and certificates done properly at launch.
