// how it works

Three steps. Zero exposure.

01

Generate locally

Your browser's crypto engine draws true randomness — no server ever sees the result.

02

Tune to the site's rules

Dial in length, character sets, or switch to a memorable passphrase or numeric PIN.

03

Copy and go

One click to the clipboard, wiped again after 60 seconds — paste it straight into the sign-up form.

// why credly

A generator built by a password manager.

Not an ad-funded tool. Everything here exists to make your credentials genuinely unguessable.

Generated on-device

Backed by crypto.getRandomValues — the same source browsers trust for encryption keys.

Live strength readout

A five-segment meter scores every result in real time as you change the controls.

Passwords, phrases, PINs

Three modes, each with their own controls — random strings, readable phrases, numeric codes.

Fine control

8 to 64 characters, per-set toggles, ambiguous-character filtering, custom separators.

Same engine as the vault

Credly’s apps, extension and CLI use this exact generator, so what you make here is what your vault makes.

Clipboard auto-clear

Copied passwords wipe from the clipboard after 60 seconds, so nothing lingers.

// the math

Length is leverage.

Average time to brute-force a random password of upper- and lowercase letters, digits and symbols (75 characters), for an attacker making a trillion guesses a second.

Passphrase questions, answered.

What is a passphrase?

A passphrase is a password made of several random words, such as film-ford-fair-edge-folk-fish-fade-flow. Because the words are picked at random rather than by you, an attacker has to try every possible combination.

How many words should a passphrase have?

Eight or more for anything important. Each word from Credly's 549-word list adds about 9.1 bits, so eight words give about 73 bits: around 130 years on average to brute-force at a trillion guesses a second. Five words fall in under a minute at that rate.

Is a passphrase better than a password?

It depends on where you type it. A passphrase is easier to remember and type by hand, so it suits a master password, a computer login or a Wi-Fi key. A random password packs more strength into each character, so it is the better pick wherever a password manager fills it in for you.

Are the words really random?

Yes. Each word is drawn with your browser's Web Crypto API, with every word equally likely, and nothing is sent to us or stored. Words you choose yourself are far weaker, because people pick predictable words and patterns.

Can I use a passphrase as my master password?

Yes, that is what passphrases are best at. Use eight words or more, never reuse it anywhere else, and keep your Credly Recovery Kit somewhere safe.

Generated a great one? Keep it safe.

Credly stores your passwords end-to-end encrypted, autofills them everywhere, and flags the weak ones before attackers do.
