Alphanumeric Password Generator
Generate a strong random alphanumeric password — uppercase, lowercase, and digits, no symbols. Free, private, generated in your browser.

An alphanumeric password uses letters and numbers only: uppercase A–Z, lowercase a–z, and digits 0–9, with no symbols. Plenty of systems ask for exactly this — database connection strings and environment files where symbols need escaping, legacy login forms that reject punctuation, voucher and activation codes, and mobile or TV keyboards where symbols are a chore to type. The security holds up well: each character is drawn from a 62-character pool, so a random 16-character alphanumeric password carries about 95 bits of entropy — far beyond brute-force range. When you want to match the strength of a full-symbol password exactly, just add a character or two of length; at 20 characters an alphanumeric password reaches about 119 bits. If your requirement is phrased as "no special characters" rather than "alphanumeric," the no-special-characters generator is this same engine with the same settings. Every password is generated locally in your browser via crypto.getRandomValues() — nothing is transmitted, logged, or stored.
Alphanumeric password examples
A strong alphanumeric password is a random run of mixed-case letters and digits — at 16 characters, about 95 bits of entropy with not a symbol in sight. The examples below are generated in your browser on every load, never printed into the page or stored, so unlike example passwords found in articles they are safe to use as-is.
These examples were generated in your browser just now — they are not stored, not shown to anyone else, and safe to use. Never use an example password printed in an article or screenshot: anything published is already in attackers’ wordlists.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an alphanumeric password?
A password made only of letters and numbers — uppercase A–Z, lowercase a–z, and digits 0–9 — with no symbols or punctuation. That is a 62-character pool per position, and when each character is chosen at random it produces genuinely strong passwords despite the smaller set.
What does a strong alphanumeric password look like?
Sixteen or more characters of true randomness, mixing cases and digits with no words, dates, or patterns — the examples below are generated fresh in your browser each time you load this page. What makes one strong is the random selection, not any visual property you can check by eye.
Is an alphanumeric password secure without symbols?
Yes, at sufficient length. A random 16-character alphanumeric password has about 95 bits of entropy — computationally infeasible to brute-force. Symbols add roughly half a bit per character; skipping them costs little, and adding one or two characters of length more than compensates.
How long should an alphanumeric password be?
At least 16 characters, which yields about 95 bits of entropy. Use 20 characters (~119 bits) for high-value accounts or wherever you want the same margin as a full-symbol password of similar length. Length is the lever that matters — the character set is secondary.
What is an 8-digit or 16-digit alphanumeric password?
Requirements phrased as “8-digit” or “16-digit alphanumeric” almost always mean total characters, not numerals — an “8-digit alphanumeric password” is 8 characters of mixed letters and numbers. Set the length slider to the required number and you satisfy the rule.
Where are alphanumeric passwords required?
Common cases include older banking and government portals, enterprise systems with legacy input validation, database and API credentials embedded in connection strings or environment files, and devices where symbol entry is impractical. When a form rejects your password, dropping to alphanumeric is usually the fastest fix.
