Random Password Generator

Creates a password at random. Nothing you generate here is saved, logged or sent anywhere.

Password length

Include

Uppercase (A-Z) Lowercase (a-z) Numbers (0-9) Symbols (! @ # * $ & %)

Skip characters that look alike: capital I, small l, one, capital O, zero

Leave this ticked and the password will not contain I, l, 1, O or 0 — so nobody has to guess which one it was when it is read out or copied off a screen.

New password

Choosing a password

Longer beats complicated. Twelve characters is the sensible minimum; sixteen is better.
Use a different password for every account. A generated one is only safe while it is used once.
Keep symbols switched on unless the system you are setting up refuses them. The Portal allows ! @ # * $ & % and no others.
The strength shown beside the password is the number of guesses an attacker would need, expressed in bits.

Set the length and the character types you need.
Click Generate. Click it again if you would rather have a different one.
Copy the password and paste it straight into wherever you are setting it.
Store it in your password manager, not in a file or an email.
