How the custom password generator works
Each result contains your selected letters exactly as entered plus a new sequence drawn with the browser’s cryptographic random-number generator. The complete set is then shuffled locally.
Are password variations secure?
Minor variations of an existing password are not secure. Attackers test common capitalization, number, date, and symbol substitutions automatically. This tool uses “variation” to mean a separate, independently randomized result—not a mutation of an old credential.
Why the entropy estimate excludes your letters
Letters chosen by a person may be predictable or publicly connected to them. The strength estimate therefore counts only the random characters. The final shuffle can add uncertainty, but the displayed number does not depend on it.
Use every result only once
Choose one generated value for one account and save it in a trusted password manager. Do not use the remaining lines as related passwords for other accounts. Generate a fresh batch instead.
When to use another generator
If a site accepts an unrestricted random password, the standard password generator is simpler. If you need something easier to remember, use independently selected words from the passphrase generator.
