WiFi password generator

A WiFi password is typed rarely but attacked constantly — it's worth making it long and fully random rather than something memorable. This generator defaults to a longer length specifically for that reason.

Tips

Go longer than you would for a typed-daily password

You'll type your WiFi password only occasionally — favor length and full randomness over easy typing.

Store it somewhere accessible to guests

Consider a printed card or a shared note, since a fully random WiFi password isn't meant to be memorized.

Avoid your address, name, or router brand

These are common starting guesses for anyone attempting to access a home network — a random generator avoids that risk entirely.

Frequently asked questions

How long should a WiFi password be?

20 characters or more is a reasonable target, since it's typed infrequently and benefits most from raw length and randomness.

Do symbols matter for a WiFi password?

They add entropy, but check that your router and all your devices support the symbols you choose — some older devices have restrictions.

Should I change my WiFi password regularly?

Not necessarily on a schedule, but change it whenever a device that had access is no longer trusted, such as after a guest leaves permanently.

What WiFi encryption should I make sure is enabled alongside a strong password?

Use WPA3 if your router supports it, or WPA2 at minimum — older WEP encryption is not secure regardless of how strong your password is.

Should my guest WiFi network have a different password from my main network?

Yes — a separate guest network with its own password keeps visitors off your main network and any devices connected to it.

Is it a problem if my WiFi password is hard for guests to type?

It's a real tradeoff — favor a passphrase-style WiFi password (real words) over a fully random string if you frequently need to share it with guests, since it balances security with ease of typing.
