### How to choose your password type

**Password**: Random mix of letters, numbers and symbols (like K9$mPq2#vL7n) for maximum security. Perfect for accounts you don’t need to memorise and can just autofill from your Bitwarden password manager.

**Passphrase**: Random words connected with hyphens (like correct-horse-battery-staple) that are long, secure and easier to remember. Ideal for when you need to type something in manually, like logging in to your streaming service from your TV.

**Password Strength Tester:** Check how secure your current passwords really are and see if they'd take hackers seconds or centuries to crack. Identify vulnerabilities and generate better replacements instantly.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How does a password generator work?

The Bitwarden password generator uses cryptographic algorithms to create random passwords. You set parameters (length, character types), and the generator produces a unique combination that's virtually impossible to guess. Unlike human-created passwords, the strong password generator from Bitwarden doesn't follow predictable patterns, making it exponentially harder for hackers to crack.

### Is Bitwarden password generator safe?

Yes, the Bitwarden password generator is completely safe. Passwords are generated locally on your device using cryptographic randomness; they never travel across the internet or get stored on Bitwarden servers. Generate unlimited passwords with complete confidence.

### What makes a strong password?

A [strong password](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/blog/how-long-should-my-password-be/) has three essential qualities: length (14+ characters), complexity (mix of upper-case, lower-case, numbers and symbols), and uniqueness (never reused across accounts). The strong Bitwarden password generator automatically creates passwords meeting all three criteria. The result? Passwords that would take billions of years to crack, versus seconds for common passwords like 'Password123'.

### What’s the difference between a password and a passphrase?

A [password](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/blog/how-long-should-my-password-be/) is a random mix of characters (like K9$mPq2#vL7n), while a [passphrase](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/blog/how-to-use-the-bitwarden-passphrase-generator/) strings together random words (like correct-horse-battery-staple). Both are secure, but passphrases are easier to remember and type. The Bitwarden passphrase generator creates memorable, long passwords perfect for accounts you access manually, like the streaming service on your TV. For everything else, the traditional password generator is recommended, then simply store them in your secure [Bitwarden Password Manager](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/products/personal/).

### Is Bitwarden password generator free?

Yes, the Bitwarden password generator is completely free, forever. No account required, no hidden premium features, just unlimited password generation. Unlike other 'free' tools that limit features or require upgrades, the [Bitwarden free password generator](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/go/start-free/) gives you full access to both password and passphrase generation with no restrictions. Generate as many passwords as you need, whenever you need them.

### Can I save the passwords I generate?

Absolutely. While you can use the Bitwarden password generator without an account, creating a [free Bitwarden account](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/go/start-free/) lets you save, organise, and autofill generated passwords across all your devices. Generate a password, save it to your encrypted vault with one click, and access it anywhere: computer, phone, tablet. Never forget or reset a password again.

### How long should my password be?

We recommend that your [passwords are at least 14 characters](https://bitwarden.com/en-gb/blog/how-long-should-my-password-be/) for strong security. The Bitwarden password generator lets you create passwords from 5 to 128 characters. The longer the password, the harder it is to crack. A 14-character password takes billions of years to guess, while an 8-character password takes just hours. Use the slider to customise the length based on your security needs.
