Password generator

Free Password Generator Tool

The Free Password Generator creates strong, unique passwords in seconds, eliminating guessable patterns and weak choices. It helps secure your accounts by mixing letters, numbers, and symbols with high entropy. Use it whenever you create a new login, rotate credentials, or need a safe passphrase for sensitive systems.

What is Password Generator?

A Password Generator is a security tool that automatically produces complex, random passwords that are difficult to guess or crack. Instead of relying on predictable words or patterns, it uses a mix of characters and controlled randomness to maximize entropy and reduce the risk of brute-force and credential-stuffing attacks.

On Monkey Type, the Password Generator lets you customize length, character sets, and formatting (such as separators or pronounceable options) to fit the requirements of any website or app. You can instantly copy the result and save it in your password manager to streamline secure account creation.

If you want to evaluate the strength of an existing password, pair this with our Password Strength Checker to validate complexity and estimated crack time before using it.

Why Use Password Generator?

• Eliminate weak, reused passwords: Reused credentials are a top cause of account breaches. The Password Generator produces unique logins for every service, stopping credential reuse across sites.
• Meet strict compliance rules: Many organizations require certain lengths and symbols. You can tune length, uppercase, lowercase, digits, and special characters to match policy and compliance frameworks.
• Defend against brute-force attacks: Long, random passwords have high entropy, making automated guessing and dictionary attacks impractical.
• Save time during onboarding: Quickly generate credentials for new employees, test accounts, and production services without manual trial and error. For other randomization needs, try our Random Number Generator.
• Create memorable yet secure passphrases: Use word-based modes or separators to build passphrases that balance memorability with strength.

How to Use Password Generator on Monkey Type

1. Open the tool: Go to the Password Generator on Monkey Type.
2. Choose your length: Select the desired number of characters (e.g., 16–24 for most accounts; 32+ for admin or API keys). Expected result: longer passwords display significantly higher estimated entropy.
3. Select character sets: Enable lowercase, uppercase, digits, and symbols. Optionally include or exclude similar-looking characters (like O/0, l/1) or ambiguous symbols to meet site rules. Expected result: the tool reflects allowed sets and updates complexity.
4. Toggle advanced options: Pick pronounceable or passphrase mode, set separators (dash, underscore, dot), and require at least one character from each set. Expected result: the output aligns with your chosen policy.
5. Generate: Click Generate to create a new password instantly. Expected result: a fresh, unique password appears in the result field.
6. Copy securely: Use Copy to clipboard. Immediately store it in your password manager. Expected result: your password is ready to paste where needed without manual typing errors.
7. Verify compatibility: If a site rejects the password, quickly adjust symbols or length and regenerate. For encoding needs, see the Base64 Encoder.

Key Features

• Custom length control: Generate from short codes to long, high-entropy strings (8–64+ characters).
• Flexible character sets: Mix lowercase, uppercase, numbers, and symbols, with options to exclude similar or ambiguous characters.
• Policy enforcement: Require at least one of each character type to meet common password policies.
• Passphrase and pronounceable modes: Create multi-word passphrases or easier-to-type secure strings.
• Instant copy and regeneration: One click to copy, another to refresh for a new password.
• No storage by default: Designed to generate in the browser; the tool doesn’t retain your outputs.
• Entropy guidance: Get a visual sense of strength so you pick the right balance for each use case.
• Complementary tools: Combine with the UUID Generator for tokens or identifiers.

Best Practices & Tips

• Use 16+ characters for personal accounts: Increase to 24–32 characters for admin, email, finance, or developer tooling.
• Always store in a password manager: Copy the generated password directly into a trusted manager to avoid losing it.
• Never reuse passwords: Generate a new one per site or environment to stop lateral movement after breaches.
• Match site restrictions: Some services block certain symbols or lengths; tweak the character set and regenerate instantly.
• Rotate sensitive credentials regularly: For production systems, use scheduled rotations and document policies. For generating IDs during rotations, try the Hash Generator.
• Avoid common pitfalls: Don’t save passwords in plain text files, screenshots, or emails; don’t shorten secure passwords to “make them easier.”

Common Use Cases

• New account sign-ups: Create a unique password for every website or app you join.
• Workforce onboarding: Generate temporary credentials for employees, contractors, or test users, then rotate after first login.
• Developer and DevOps: Produce strong secrets for staging/prod dashboards, databases, CI/CD, or API clients.
• Compliance-driven environments: Meet mandated complexity and rotation rules with tunable settings.
• Secure passphrases for vaults: Build long passphrases for password managers or encrypted archives. For additional data utilities, see the Text Diff Checker.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Password Generator on Monkey Type safe to use?

Yes. The Password Generator is designed to run in your browser and does not store your outputs. For maximum safety, generate, copy, and immediately save your password in a password manager. Avoid sharing or transmitting passwords in unsecured channels.

What password length should I choose?

For everyday accounts, use at least 16 characters. For admin accounts, financial services, and developer tooling, 24–32 characters is recommended. If a site has maximum limits, set the tool to that length and keep all character sets enabled.

How do I make passwords that are easier to remember?

Use passphrase or pronounceable modes. These generate longer but more memorable strings without sacrificing strength. If a site requires symbols or numbers, enable separators or include required characters while keeping the overall length high.

Can I check if my password is strong enough?

Yes. After generating, verify complexity with the Password Strength Checker. It provides a quick estimate of password robustness and highlights areas to improve.

What if a website rejects my generated password?

Some platforms disallow certain symbols or enforce length caps. Adjust the character set or length in the Password Generator and click Generate again. For other encoding or formatting needs, try the Base64 Encoder.
