Strong WiFi Password Generator
Create a random password with your device’s secure random generator. It’s never sent anywhere.
Strength
What makes a strong WiFi password?
- Length beats complexity. Each extra random character multiplies the guesses needed. 16 characters is a strong default; WPA allows up to 63.
- Truly random. Names, birthdays, pet names and keyboard patterns like
qwerty123are the first things attackers try. - Unique. Don’t reuse your email or banking password for WiFi.
The strength bar shows entropy in bits. Above about 65 bits is strong for WiFi; 90+ is excellent.
Why skip look-alike characters?
WiFi passwords get typed by hand on TVs, consoles and printers. With Skip look-alikes on, the generator leaves out characters that are easy to confuse, like 0 and O or l, 1 and I, so guests don’t get it wrong. Even easier: share it as a scannable code with the WiFi QR code generator.
How to use your new password
- Copy the password and keep it somewhere safe, like a password manager.
- Open your router’s settings. The router login finder shows the address for your brand.
- Change the WiFi password under Wireless or WLAN security and save. Every device will need the new password. Step-by-step instructions are in how to change your WiFi password.
Password generator FAQ
Is this password generator safe?
Yes. Passwords are made in your browser with the Web Crypto random generator, the same source used for encryption keys. Nothing is sent to a server or saved.
How long should a WiFi password be?
At least 12 characters, and 16 or more is better. WPA2 and WPA3 accept 8 to 63 characters.
How often should I change my WiFi password?
Whenever someone who shouldn’t have it might, such as after a tenant or ex-partner leaves, or if you see devices you don’t recognise on your router. Otherwise a strong password doesn’t need regular changes.
