About this generator
This no-symbol preset is designed for services, routers, apps, or legacy systems that reject special characters.
This preset starts with characters mode and generates 10 independent results at a time. Every visible setting remains adjustable, and generated values are not sent to PwdGen.
When to use it
- Alphanumeric-only password forms
- Manual typing on mobile keyboards
- Legacy services with symbol restrictions
Alphabet size, entropy, and brute-force assumptions
The theoretical entropy ceiling is calculated as H = L × log2(A), where L is the generated length and A is the number of currently permitted characters.
| Length | Alphabet | Search space | Entropy ceiling | Average at 10 billion guesses/s |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 56 | 5620 | 116.1 bits | 1.46e17 years |
Important: these are mathematical estimates for uniformly random values. Required positions, restricted counts, repeated passwords, dictionary patterns, leaked credentials, and real password-hashing costs can change the result substantially. The figure is not a security guarantee.
Why this length or rule matters
Character rules exist mainly for destination compatibility. Every exclusion or position requirement changes the search space, so the safest approach is to apply only required restrictions and compensate with additional length.
Common applications
- Alphanumeric-only password forms
- Manual typing on mobile keyboards
- Legacy services with symbol restrictions
How to use the result safely
- Increase length to compensate for the smaller alphabet
- Keep uppercase, lowercase, and numbers enabled
- Do not reuse the result
Generation and privacy method
The preset uses the browser Web Crypto API for random selection. Regenerating, changing settings, selecting, and copying results do not send generated credentials to PwdGen. The password crack-time estimator also runs locally and is an estimate, not a guarantee.
Password Generator without Symbols FAQ
Is a password without symbols still secure?
Yes, if it is long, uniformly random, unique, and stored safely. Length helps compensate for a smaller character set.
How long should a no-symbol password be?
Use at least 16 characters when possible; 20 or more is a practical target for important accounts.
Why do some services reject symbols?
Legacy validation, old database limits, mobile input issues, or unsafe handling of special characters can cause restrictions.
Does no-symbol generation stay local?
Yes. The setting changes the local alphabet only; no generated value is sent to PwdGen.
