Password Generator

Generate a Password

This free password generator creates a random password in your browser using its cryptographic random generator. Choose a length from 8 to 64 characters and include the character types your lender portal accepts.

The tool starts at 16 characters with upper case, lower case, numbers and symbols included. Each generated password contains at least one character from every included type. Changing a setting generates a fresh password. Generate password creates another with the same settings.

Choose Exclude under Similar characters if you need to type the password manually. That removes I, l, 1, O, 0, o and the vertical bar. It reduces the available characters, so keep the password long.

The browser’s secure random generator supplies the random values. The tool discards values that would favour some characters and retries passwords missing an included type.

Generated passwords stay in page memory. The tool sends no password to a server and saves no password in browser storage. Copy password writes the current result to your clipboard, where your device’s clipboard settings apply.

Choose the Right Length

Choose 16 characters or more when the portal accepts them. The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s password guidance recommends at least 15 characters, along with an unpredictable password used for only one account.

A 14-character random password is longer than an 8-, 10- or 12-character password, but it falls below that length recommendation. A 15- or 16-character password meets the length recommendation. Randomness and the allowed character types still affect its strength.

If you need to remember a password, use a long passphrase made from randomly chosen, unrelated words. Avoid client names, your brokerage name and familiar sayings. This tool generates characters, so use your password manager’s passphrase option for random words.

The strength rating applies only to passwords this tool generates. It counts the possible passwords under your settings, including the requirement to use each included type. It does not estimate cracking time or certify a portal’s security.

Passwords under 15 characters read Short. At 15 characters or more, fewer than 80 bits of randomness reads Limited, 80 to below 100 reads Strong and 100 or more reads Very strong. These are this tool’s rating bands.

For example, the default 16-character password uses 94 possible characters and requires all four types. That gives about 104.59 bits of randomness and the Very strong rating. A 16-digit password has about 53.15 bits and reads Limited.

Store Passwords Safely

Save each lender portal password in your password manager against the correct website address. Use a different password for every account, so a stolen login cannot be reused across your brokerage’s systems.

Turn on two-factor authentication where the portal supports it. This is a form of multi-factor authentication (MFA), which requires another kind of proof as well as your password. The Australian Cyber Security Centre’s account security guidance also recommends protecting the password manager with MFA and a long, unique master password.

After copying a password, save it in the manager before leaving this page. Reloading generates another password, and the previous result cannot be recovered here. Use individual staff accounts wherever the lender makes them available.
