About 8 Character Passwords
8 characters is the traditional minimum length for passwords and is still enforced by many websites and applications. This generator creates random 8-character passwords using uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols.
Because 8 characters is shorter than ideal, our generator excludes confusing characters like 1, l, 0 and O so the password is easier to read, and it always includes all four character classes for maximum entropy at this length.
Tip: for email, banking, or other sensitive accounts, consider using a 12 character password or even a 16 character password for much stronger protection.
