A strong password should be long, unique and hard to guess. The problem is that no one remembers such passwords, so people reach for simple and repeated ones. But there is a golden middle path: a password that is strong yet you remember it, because it comes from your own words. Try it below.

Try the password generator

Enter a few words you can easily remember (they need not be true, it is even better if they are not) and the generator will assemble a strong and unique password from them. Everything happens right in your browser, nothing is sent or stored.

Generated right in your browser. Nothing is sent or stored on a server.

How it works

The generator takes your words, transforms them (capital letters, character substitution, numbers and symbols) and assembles them into one password. The result is complex enough to be strong, yet still comes from your words, so you can recall it. Each click gives you a different version, pick the one that suits you.

What makes a password strong

  • Length. The longer, the better. The minimum is 12 characters, ideally 16 and more.
  • Different character types. Upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols.
  • Uniqueness. Every service should have its own password. When one leaks, the others are safe.
  • No common words and patterns. Avoid “password123” or children’s names.

An important note

A password from your favorite words is a great compromise between strength and memorability, but it has one rule: use words that are not publicly known about you. If someone can find your dog’s name and car brand on social media, do not use exactly those. That is exactly why the generator changes and combines the words.

For the most sensitive accounts (email, bank) the safest is a fully random password stored in a password manager. The article on a password manager and two-factor authentication is about how to do that.

Do not forget two-factor authentication

Even the best password is just one layer of protection. Where possible, turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). Even if someone gets the password, without the second step they cannot get in. A modern passwordless alternative is passkeys.

Conclusion

A good password does not have to be an unmemorable mix of characters. When it comes from your words and the generator turns them into a strong and unique form, you get the best of both worlds. And for sensitive accounts, complement it with a password manager and two-factor authentication.
