Why Choose a 16 Character Password?
A 16 character password is the gold standard for modern security. With roughly 100 bits of entropy, it is effectively impossible to crack by brute force - even supercomputers would need longer than the age of the universe.
Our generator creates truly random 16-character passwords using uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, and excludes confusing characters like 1, l, 0 and O.
16 character passwords are ideal for email accounts, online banking, cryptocurrency wallets, and the master password of your password manager. Pair them with a password manager and you never need to memorize them.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a 16 character password more secure than 12?
Yes. A random 16 character password has roughly 100 bits of entropy versus about 75 for 12 characters - millions of times harder to crack and effectively unbreakable by brute force.
When should I use a 16 character password?
Use 16 characters for high-value accounts such as email, online banking, cryptocurrency wallets, password managers, and anything devastating if compromised.
How long would it take to crack a 16 character password?
With about 100 bits of entropy, brute-forcing a random 16 character password at 10 billion guesses per second would take more than 10^18 years - effectively forever.
