16 Character Password Generator
Generate a random 16-character password with letters, numbers and symbols.
Generated in your browser with a cryptographically secure random generator. Nothing is sent or stored.
Why 16 characters?
Sixteen random characters from the full set of letters, numbers and symbols give about 100 bits of entropy — a comfortable margin for important accounts such as email, banking, cloud storage and password managers.
Because you will store it in a password manager rather than remember it, a longer password costs you nothing extra.
Number of combinations
- Letters and numbers: 62¹⁶ ≈ 4.8 × 10²⁸
- Letters, numbers and symbols: 75¹⁶ ≈ 1 × 10³⁰
If a service limits which symbols you can use, untick Symbols: a 16-character password of letters and numbers still has about 95 bits.
