How to Generate Secure Passwords You Can Actually Use

Why Good Passwords Matter

Most account breaches start with a weak or reused password. A strong, unique password is the single most effective barrier between your accounts and an attacker, and it takes only seconds to create one with the right tool.

What Makes a Password Strong

• Length: Aim for at least 16 characters.
• Randomness: Avoid names, dates, and dictionary words.
• Variety: Mix uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols.
• Uniqueness: Never reuse a password across sites.

Step 1: Open the Password Generator

Open the Imgira Password Generator. It runs locally in your browser, so the passwords it creates are never transmitted or stored.

Step 2: Choose Length and Options

Set the length to 16 characters or more. Enable uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols for maximum strength. You can exclude ambiguous characters if you need to type the password by hand.

Step 3: Generate

Create the password. The generator uses a cryptographically secure random source rather than a predictable pattern.

Step 4: Save It Properly

Copy the password into a password manager immediately. Never store important passwords in a plain text file or a note on your desk.

Step 5: Use It and Move On

Paste the password into the sign-up or change-password form. Because it is unique, a breach on one site will not expose your other accounts.

Build Better Habits

Pair strong passwords with two-factor authentication for critical accounts. Change a password only when you suspect compromise. With a generator and a manager, good security becomes a default rather than a chore.
