A random password generator is a tool that creates secure, unpredictable passwords using combinations of characters based on your specified criteria. It's essential for creating strong passwords that are resistant to hacking attempts and brute force attacks.
Our generator allows you to specify password length, character types to include, and whether to exclude similar-looking characters, giving you complete control over your password's security and usability.

Our Random Password Generator uses cryptographically secure random number generation to create truly random passwords. When you click "Generate", the tool:
- Creates a character pool based on your selected criteria (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols)

- Randomly selects characters from the pool to reach your desired length
- Shuffles the characters to ensure unpredictability
