How long should my password be?
A practical baseline for many accounts is 16 characters or more when the service allows it. Longer passwords provide a substantially larger search space against automated guessing.
How to Use Strong Password Generator
Step 1: Choose Length
Set password length (from 8 to 128 characters).
Step 2: Select Character Sets
Toggle uppercase letters (A-Z), lowercase (a-z), numbers (0-9), and symbols (!@#$).
Step 3: Generate & Copy
Instantly copy password with entropy strength score.
Key Features & Capabilities
- Hardware-backed randomness via window.crypto.getRandomValues
- Entropy score and brute-force crack time estimation
- Option to exclude ambiguous characters (l, 1, I, O, 0)
- Passphrase mode with readable diceware words
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a complex short password better than a longer random one?
Usually not. Length contributes heavily to entropy. A 16-character password with a standard character set is generally harder to guess than an 8-character password with unusual symbols.
Can PixelToFile see the password I generate?
No. The project metadata indicates that password generation runs client-side in the browser.
