Password Generator

What are Passwords and Secrets?

Passwords and secrets are strings of characters used to authenticate users and protect sensitive information. They come in various forms:

• Passwords: User-created strings used to authenticate access to accounts and services
• PIN Codes: Numeric codes used for quick access to devices or services
• Random IDs: Unique identifiers used in applications and systems

How We Generate Secure Values

Our generator uses cryptographically secure methods to create truly random values:

• Uses the Web Crypto API for secure random number generation
• Implements industry-standard algorithms for ID generation
• All generation happens in your browser - no data is sent to servers
• Uses the EFF diceware wordlist for generating strong passphrases

Word Passphrases and Entropy

Our word-based passphrases are generated using the Electronic Frontier Foundation's (EFF) diceware wordlist, combined with modern cryptographic libraries. This approach provides several security benefits:

• High Entropy: Each word adds significant entropy to the passphrase, making it extremely difficult to brute force
• Memorable: Word-based passphrases are easier to remember than random character strings
• Proven Security: The EFF wordlist is specifically designed for generating secure passphrases
• Cryptographic Randomness: Words are selected using cryptographically secure random number generation

For example, a 4-word passphrase from our generator would take many years to brute force, even with modern computing power, while remaining relatively easy to remember.
