Password Generator — How to Create Unbreakable Passwords
Weak passwords are the number one cause of account compromises. Our password generator creates cryptographically random passwords using PHP's random_int() function — which uses a cryptographically secure random number generator, unlike basic rand().
What Makes a Strong Password?
- Length: The single biggest factor. A 16-character password is exponentially harder to crack than an 8-character one.
- Character variety: Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
- Randomness: Avoid dictionary words, names, dates, and patterns like "1234" or "qwerty".
- Uniqueness: Never reuse passwords across different accounts.
How Long Would It Take to Crack?
- 6 chars, letters only: seconds
- 8 chars, letters + numbers: minutes to hours
- 12 chars, all character types: years to decades
- 16+ chars, all types: effectively impossible with current technology
Password Best Practices
- Use a different password for every account — especially email and banking
- Use a password manager (Bitwarden, 1Password, LastPass) to remember them
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever possible
- Never share your password or type it on public computers
- Change passwords immediately if a service reports a data breach
