How to generate a strong password
- Set the length with the slider. 16 characters is a good default; use 20 or more for important accounts.
- Choose the characters to include: uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols. Turn on Avoid look-alike characters if you'll ever read or type the password by hand.
- Check the strength meter. It shows the password's strength and entropy in bits, with a short tip on what to change.
- Copy the password with the Copy button and paste it into the sign-up or password-change form. Press the refresh button any time for a new one.
Features
- Cryptographically secure randomness from your browser's built-in
crypto.getRandomValues, the same source used for encryption keys, with an unbiased method so every character is equally likely. - Lengths from 4 to 128 characters.
- Choose character types: uppercase, lowercase, numbers and symbols. Every type you select is guaranteed to appear at least once, so passwords pass "must include a number" rules.
- Avoid look-alike characters like I, l, 1, O and 0.
- Live strength meter with entropy in bits and plain-language advice.
- One-tap copy that works on phones and computers.
Why use Fileora's password generator
A password generator is only as trustworthy as the place the password is created. Some online generators build the password on their server and send it to your browser, which means it has travelled over the network and could, in principle, be logged. Fileora generates passwords entirely on your device. Nothing is transmitted, saved, or remembered after you close the tab.
People are also bad at inventing random passwords. We reuse favourite words, add a "1!" at the end, and swap letters for similar numbers in ways that password-cracking tools already try first. A generated password has none of those patterns. Combined with a password manager, it means every account can have a unique password, so one data breach can't unlock the rest of your online life.

What makes a password strong
Strength comes from two things: length and the size of the character set. A password drawn from all four character types has about 90 possible symbols per character, so each character adds roughly 6.5 bits of entropy. At 16 characters that's over 100 bits, far beyond what any computer could guess. The most important habits are simple: use a different password for every account, make each one long and random, and turn on two-factor authentication wherever it's offered.
