How to Generate a Strong Password (and Remember It)

What Makes a Password Strong?
A strong password has four properties: length (16+ characters), randomness (not a word or phrase you'd use), complexity (mix of upper, lower, numbers, symbols), and uniqueness (different for every account).
How to Generate a Strong Password
Use our Password Generator to create a cryptographically random password. Set length to 16 or more and enable all character types. The generator uses your browser's Web Crypto API — your passwords are never sent to any server.
Why You Need a Password Manager
You cannot memorise a unique 16-character random password for every account you have. A password manager stores all your passwords encrypted behind one master password. Top free options: Bitwarden (open source, all platforms), KeePass (offline), and the built-in manager in Chrome or Safari.
Two-Factor Authentication
Even a strong password can be compromised in a data breach. Enable 2FA (Two-Factor Authentication) on all important accounts — Gmail, banking, social media. Use an authenticator app like Google Authenticator or Authy rather than SMS-based 2FA when possible.
