About
Hi, I’m Ross Nicholson. I built CreateMeAPassword.com because people deserve a simple way to create strong passwords without giving up privacy. It’s a privacy‑first password and passphrase generator: everything runs entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API — no accounts, no tracking, and no data ever leaves your device.
Why I built this
I wanted a clean, trustworthy tool that gets the basics right for everyone and still has depth when you need it. You’ll find sensible defaults, clear UI, and powerful advanced options for real‑world requirements — including a Kids mode designed for memorable, kid‑friendly passphrases.
How it works
- Cryptographically secure randomness via
crypto.getRandomValues
with rejection sampling for unbiased selection. - Client‑side only: generation happens locally in your browser.
- Strict security headers (CSP, COOP/COEP), no external trackers/ads/pop‑ups, and a strong privacy stance.

Why this password generator is different
Many password manager generator pages — for example from providers like LastPass, Dashlane, 1Password, NordPass, or Keeper — often include marketing pop‑ups, upsells, analytics trackers, ads, or forms that ask for data. This site doesn’t — it simply generates passwords locally in your browser.
- No cookies, no ads, no tracking, no pop‑ups
- No forms asking for confidential information
- Generation runs 100% locally in your browser using the Web Crypto API
You get strong, unbiased randomness and a clean interface — nothing else.
