Password Generator.
A strong password is one of the simplest ways to stay safe online and the above tool gives you one instantly.
Why strong passwords matter.
Most breaches don’t happen because of elite hackers hammering firewalls; they happen because someone, somewhere, used a password that could be guessed by a mildly motivated pigeon.
Stronger passwords make your accounts dramatically harder to break into, keeping your data, identity, and business far safer.
A strong password helps protect:
- Email accounts
- Banking and payment apps
- Microsoft 365 / business logins
- Social media
- VPNs and remote access
- Anything precious, private, or embarrassing
Avoid password guessing.
Anything involving pets, kids, birthdays, football teams, or the word “password”.
Stop credential stuffing.
If burglars don’t reuse the same key for every door, neither should you.
Prevent brute-force cracking.
Long, random passwords turn “easy win” into “no chance”.
Password best practices.
Simple habits that make your accounts far harder to break into (and far less dependent on your memory).
Use a unique password for every account.
Reusing passwords is like using one key for your house, your car, and the office — convenient, until someone copies it. Keep every account separate, especially business apps, so one breach doesn’t open every door.
Go long 14+ characters whenever possible.
Length beats cleverness every time. A long, random password takes centuries to crack, even with modern tools. Think “fortress”, not “garden shed with a loose latch”.
Avoid anything personally guessable.
Names, birthdays, football teams, your dog, your child, your favourite biscuit - all off the table. If it appears on social media or could be guessed in three tries, it doesn’t belong in your password.
Store passwords safely in a password manager.
Strong passwords are useless if you forget them or write them on a Post-it. A password manager keeps everything encrypted, organised, and auto-filled; no memory tests, no notebooks, no chaos.
Turn on MFA everywhere you can.
Multi-factor authentication adds an extra lock that attackers really hate. Even if someone guesses your password, they still can’t get in without your one-time code or device.
Avoid anything personally guessable.
Names, birthdays, football teams, your dog, your child, your favourite biscuit — all off the table. If it appears on social media or could be guessed in three tries, it doesn’t belong in your password.
Frequently Asked Questions.
Do you store any of my passwords?
No. Everything is generated on your device. Nothing is transmitted, saved, or shared. Not even with the office plants.
Can I use this for business passwords?
Yes. This tool is designed for both personal and business use. For shared credentials, use a password manager with team access controls.
How long should my password be?
Longer = stronger. We recommend 14–20 characters for everyday accounts and even longer for admin or privileged access.
Is this better than using a passphrase?
Both are secure. Passphrases are easier to remember; random passwords are harder to crack. Your security software may prefer one format. Either way, use something unique and strong.
Will this help with Cyber Essentials?
Yes. strong passwords and MFA are essential controls. This tool supports best practice for compliance.
