📖 About Random Password Generator
NIST SP 800-63B Password Entropy & Security Guidelines
Password security is mathematically governed by Information Entropy (measured in bits):
- Shannon Entropy Formula: E = L × _2(C)
(where L is password length and C is the total character pool size).
- Character Pools:
- Lowercase only: ≈ 4.70 bits/char
- Alphanumeric mixed: ≈ 5.95 bits/char
- Full ASCII with symbols: ≈ 6.55 bits/char
NIST Password Strength Classification
- 100 Bits: Minimum 16+ characters with mixed symbols. Completely immune to all modern distributed brute-force attacks.
- 80--99 Bits (Very Strong): 14–16 characters. Safe against high-end GPU clusters for millions of years.
- 60--79 Bits (Strong): 11–13 characters. Standard for general social media and non-critical logins.
- < 45 Bits (Vulnerable): 8 characters or fewer. Can be cracked in seconds to hours with standard consumer GPUs.
How to Use This Calculator
Enter your Password Length (characters) (e.g. 16), Include Uppercase (A-Z) — choose from Yes (A-Z), No, Include Lowercase (a-z) — choose from Yes (a-z), No, Include Numbers (0-9) — choose from Yes (0-9), No, Include Symbols (!@#%) — choose from Yes (!@#%^&*), No, and Security Profile Benchmark — choose from Custom Password Rules, Ultra-Secure Master Password (20 Chars / All Symbols), High-Security Banking (16 Chars / All Symbols). Results update instantly as you type — adjust any value to compare scenarios.
