How to Use Buggable’s Free Online Password Generator for Strong, Secure Passwords

Strong, unique passwords are one of the easiest ways to improve your security. To make that simple, Buggable includes a free online password generator that runs entirely in your browser and lets you customize length, character sets and readability.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to use the tool, what each option means, and a few best practices for creating secure passwords.

Where to find the password generator

Open the Dev tools section on Buggable and click on “Password generator”. You’ll see a page with a generated password at the top, followed by controls for length and character options.

The tool is designed to be fast, minimal and privacy‑friendly:

• Passwords are generated client-side only in your browser.
• We use the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues) for strong randomness.
• No generated password is sent to our servers.

Step 1 – Choose your password length

At the top of the controls, you’ll find the Length section.

• You can generate passwords from 6 to 2048 characters.
• Use the slider to pick any length in that range.
• Use the quick buttons for common choices: 6, 8, 12, 16.

For most logins, a length of at least 12–16 characters with a mix of character types is recommended.

Step 2 – Select character sets

Below the length controls, you’ll see checkboxes for the different character sets:

• Lowercase letters (a–z)
• Uppercase letters (A–Z)
• Numbers (0–9)
• Symbols and other special characters

The password generator lets you combine any subset of these character sets, giving you all common combinations. To keep you safe, the tool prevents you from deselecting every single character set. At least one of the four must always be enabled; otherwise a password can’t be generated.

Step 3 – Exclude ambiguous characters (optional)

The last option is “Exclude ambiguous characters (O, 0, I, l, 1, |) for easier reading”. When enabled (default), the generator removes visually confusing characters. This is especially helpful when sharing passwords verbally or typing them from a screenshot.

Step 4 – Generate and copy your password

At the top of the tool, you’ll see the Generated password field plus two buttons:

• Regenerate – creates a new random password using your current length and character settings.
• Copy – copies the current password to your clipboard.

Because the generator runs in your browser, the password never leaves your device unless you copy it somewhere yourself.

Security: how the password generator works

Buggable’s password generator is designed with security in mind:

• Strong randomness using crypto.getRandomValues
• Client-side only generation
• Flexible length and character sets

That combination makes the tool suitable for everyday accounts, API keys (when allowed by the service), and any place where you need a random secret that you control.

Best practices for using generated passwords

To get the most value from the password generator:

1. Use a password manager.
2. Use a unique password per site.
3. Aim for at least 12–16 characters.
4. Include multiple character sets.
