Password Generator: Build Strong, Compliant Credentials

A password generator produces high-entropy passwords tailored to your policy—length, symbols, numbers, and exclusions. It removes guesswork and prevents weak or reused credentials.

Below we cover how it works, what makes a password strong, and how to align with compliance rules without sacrificing usability.

What Makes a Strong Password?

• Length: aim for 12–16+ characters as a baseline; longer for admin accounts
• Entropy: mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols without predictable patterns
• Uniqueness: never reuse across sites; breach reuse is the top risk
• Resistance to guesswork: avoid dictionary words, dates, or keyboard walks

How Our Generator Helps

• Configurable length and character sets tuned to site-specific rules
• Exclude lookalike characters (O/0, l/1) to cut login typos
• Strength indicator to visualize entropy before you copy
• One-click copy plus history for quick retries without reconfiguring
• Preset templates: PCI-ready, enterprise SSO, VPN, database, or client handoffs

When to Use a Password Generator

Best Practices to Keep Passwords Safe

• Use a password manager; never store secrets in docs or chats
• Rotate credentials on schedule, especially for shared or service accounts
• Enable MFA wherever possible; strong passwords plus MFA reduce account takeover risk
• Check site-specific symbol rules to avoid rejected passwords and lockouts
• Do not reuse passwords across environments (dev, stage, prod)

Conclusion

A password generator removes the friction of creating strong, policy-compliant credentials. Combine it with MFA and a password manager to materially reduce the risk of account takeover.
