The best password generators of 2025: Expert tested


While it's easy to default to common, easy-to-guess passwords, a password generator can help you create complex, secure credentials. We'll help you choose the best password generator to keep your online accounts safe.

Why we like it: You can adjust settings to include or omit upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, symbols, and ambiguous characters such as uppercase O and the numeral 0. As there's no tab or button to open this tool in the mobile or desktop apps, you'll have to go through manually adding a record or auto-filling a new or existing login. Signed-in Dashlane users can generate passwords locally on their devices and save them to their encrypted vaults as well as autofill when creating new credentials.
