Free security tools and guides. Yours to keep.

Practical, plain-English resources for nonprofit executives, clinical directors, school administrators, and practice managers — starting with a password generator that shows you exactly how long a hacker would need to crack the result.

Free Tool · Password Generator

Create a strong password — and see how long it would hold.

Choose a length and the character types you need. Every password is generated inside your own browser using cryptographic randomness. It is never sent to us, never stored, and never reused.

8 to 64 characters. We recommend at least 14; 16 or more for admin and financial accounts.

How long would it take a hacker to crack it?
Guessing against a website loginabout 1,000 guesses per second—
Offline attack with a gaming graphics cardabout 10 billion guesses per second—
Offline attack with a professional cracking rigabout 1 trillion guesses per second—

Estimates assume an attacker trying every possible combination of the character types you selected, and show the average time to hit the right one.

Rule 1

Never reuse a password

No crack time matters if the same password was exposed in another site's breach. Attackers try leaked passwords first, and they work instantly.

Rule 2

Use a password manager

Nobody can memorize dozens of random 16-character passwords. A password manager remembers them so you only have to remember one strong passphrase.

Rule 3

Turn on MFA everywhere

Multi-factor authentication means a stolen password alone isn't enough. It's the single most effective protection for email, finance, and patient or student data.
