Random String Generator — Secure Randomness on Demand
Passwords, API keys, webhook secrets, coupon codes, test fixtures — all need strings nobody can guess. This free generator produces them using the browser's cryptographically secure random source (crypto.getRandomValues), with full control over length and character sets, bulk generation, and an ambiguous-character filter for human-readable codes. Nothing leaves your device; no signup.
Entropy: How Strong Is Your String?
| Length | Charset (95 printable) | Entropy | Practical meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | all sets | ~52 bits | crackable — avoid for secrets |
| 12 | all sets | ~79 bits | good password floor |
| 16 | all sets | ~105 bits | strong secret |
| 32 | letters+digits | ~190 bits | API-key grade |
Each extra character multiplies attacker cost by the charset size — length beats complexity tricks every time.
Why Math.random() Is Not Enough
JavaScript's Math.random() is a fast pseudo-random generator whose internal state can be reconstructed from observed outputs — fine for animations, catastrophic for secrets. Secure generation requires a CSPRNG, which is exactly what this tool uses. If you generate secrets in your own code, the same rule applies: crypto APIs, never Math.random().
Common Recipes
- Password: 16–20 chars, all four sets.
- API key: 32–40 chars, letters + digits (symbol-free survives URLs and headers).
- Voucher codes: 8–10 uppercase + digits, ambiguous characters excluded, bulk mode.
- Test data: any shape, bulk-generated for fixtures and load tests.
Free and Private
Generation is local and unlogged — the strings exist only on your screen until you copy them.
