Open Password & Passphrase Generator

Step-by-step instructions

  1. Choose a random password or random passphrase.
  2. Set password length and character groups, or choose six to twelve passphrase words and a separator.
  3. Generate securely, copy into a trusted password manager, and clear the result when finished.

Processing limits

12–128 password characters, or 6–12 independently selected passphrase words.

Important details

Random selection uses crypto.getRandomValues with rejection sampling rather than Math.random. Passwords include every selected character group. Passphrase words are independently selected from the 7,776-word EFF long list.

Six EFF words provide approximately 77 bits of selection entropy, assuming independent uniform generation. This does not protect against phishing, malware, password reuse or an already-compromised device.

The EFF wordlist by Joseph Bonneau / Electronic Frontier Foundation is reused under CC BY 4.0. Download creates an unencrypted file; copying places the secret on your clipboard. Helphonic does not store generated secrets.

Privacy and usage

Content stays in your browser. Helphonic receives only access checks and non-content operation metadata. Download or copy results before leaving; there is no account storage. Usage is initially unlimited for all audiences but remains configurable by an administrator.

Processing and privacy

Files and entered content are processed on your device in this browser tab. File contents and results are not uploaded to Helphonic or sent to analytics. The page still contacts Helphonic to load its tools, check access and confirm non-content usage information. Work is not saved to your account; download or copy results before leaving or reloading the page.

Access and current limits

Check the tool page for current access, remaining usage and per-operation limits. File count, per-file size, total size and page limits can depend on your access and can change. Device and processor safety limits still apply when usage is unlimited. A paid pass does not necessarily increase every processing limit.

One successful export counts as one operation. Previewing and editing do not use an operation. Daily allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. Downloads of an already-created result do not count again.

If an operation cannot finish

Use a current browser and smaller inputs if the tab runs out of memory. Some tools download a local processing library or model on first use, so an internet connection is needed even though your content stays on the device.

If the tool reports that access or limits changed, review the current policy and run it again. If usage confirmation is uncertain after an interrupted connection, a retry can count as another operation. Download completed work before reloading; this site does not keep a recovery copy.

Check the current limits

Allowances and per-operation limits can change. The Password & Passphrase Generator page shows the policy that applies to you. Per-operation safety limits still apply when usage is unlimited. See access passes if a tool or extra usage requires paid access.
