WiFi Password Generator
YOUR NEW WIFI PASSWORD
Passwords are created in your browser with a secure random generator. Nothing is sent or saved.
How to use the WiFi password generator
- Choose Random characters for the strongest password, or Easy passphrase for one that is simple to type on a TV or game console.
- Set the length. For WiFi, 16 characters or more is a good choice.
- Click Copy password, then paste it into your router's wireless settings.
How to change your WiFi password on the router
- Open your router login page, usually 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1. Not sure? Use the Router IP Finder.
- Sign in with the admin username and password.
- Go to Wireless, WiFi or WLAN settings, then Security.
- Choose WPA3 or WPA2-PSK (AES), paste the new password into the key or passphrase field, and save.
- Reconnect each device with the new password.
What makes a strong WiFi password?
- Length matters most. WPA2 and WPA3 accept 8 to 63 characters. Longer passwords are far harder to crack.
- Avoid personal details such as names, birthdays, phone numbers or your address.
- Do not reuse your email or bank password for WiFi.
- Change the router admin password too. It is separate from the WiFi password and just as important.
Random characters or a passphrase?
A random 16-character password is very strong but hard to type on a TV remote. A passphrase of four or more random words is easier to read out to guests and still strong, as long as the words are chosen at random rather than picked by you.
Where to type your new password
After you generate a password, it goes into your router's wireless security settings. The field has different names depending on the brand: Password, Network Key, Pre-Shared Key (PSK), WPA Passphrase or Security Key. They all mean the same thing.
Use WPA2-PSK (AES) or WPA2/WPA3 as the security type. After saving, every device needs the new password to reconnect, so do it when you have a few minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this WiFi password generator safe?
Yes. The password is created in your browser using a cryptographically secure random number generator. It is never sent to our server or saved.
How long should a WiFi password be?
WiFi passwords can be 8 to 63 characters. We recommend at least 16 characters, or a passphrase of four or more random words.
Can I use symbols in a WiFi password?
Yes, WPA2 and WPA3 support symbols. Some older devices struggle with unusual symbols, so if a device will not connect, try a password with letters and numbers only.
Should I change my WiFi password regularly?
Change it if you think someone else has it, after a guest or tenant leaves, or if it is still the default printed on the router.
