A password generator creates cryptographically random passwords of specified length and character set, and calculates the entropy (strength) of the generated password.
Formel
- L
- password length; N = character set size — password length; N = character set size
- N
- character set size — character set size
Trin-for-trin guide
- 1Entropy = L × log₂(N) bits
- 2L = password length; N = character set size
- 370+ bits is considered secure for most uses
- 4Longer is always stronger — prefer 16+ characters
