Password Security Tools

Browse PwdGen password generators, passphrase tools, password checking tools, browser-local utilities, and offline generation resources.

Password generators by length

Use an exact-length generator when a service or team policy specifies a size.

Password generators by character rule

Use a rule-specific generator only when the destination requires that rule. Restrictions can reduce the alphabet, so compensate with length where possible.

Password generators by use case

Use these presets when a credential is created for a specific account or workflow.

Passphrase tools

Passphrases are useful when a credential may need to be remembered or typed manually. Random word choice matters more than using a familiar quote.

Password checking tools

These tools run locally and are designed to explain assumptions instead of promising a universal safety score.

Browser and offline tools

PwdGen is designed for modern browsers with Web Crypto. The local web app, PWA, CLI, and extension notes explain how the same privacy boundary applies across surfaces.

Frequently asked questions

Which PwdGen tool should I start with?

Start with the main random password generator for everyday accounts, the passphrase generator for memorable credentials, and the strength checker when you need to evaluate an existing password locally.

Do these tools upload generated passwords?

No. The browser tools generate and evaluate passwords locally and do not send generated passwords or password-check inputs to PwdGen servers.

Are the developer utilities password tools?

Some utilities, such as UUID, Base64, URL encoding, and SHA-256, are developer helpers. They are included because they share the same local-first privacy model.
