Easy-to-Read Password Generator

Removing the characters people confuse with each other: capital I, lowercase l, and the digit 1; capital O and the digit 0. This generator excludes those five, so a password transcribed from paper or read over the phone comes across correctly the first time.

Barely. The character pool shrinks from 88 to 83, which at 16 characters means about 102 bits of entropy instead of 103 — a rounding error, with both far beyond brute-force range. If you want the margin back, add a single character of length.

Whenever a password passes through eyes or voice instead of a clipboard: dictating a Wi-Fi key to a guest, typing a password from a printed card, entering credentials on a TV or game console with a remote, or labeling equipment. For passwords that only ever live in a manager, the filter is unnecessary.

Easy to read means no ambiguous characters, so the password transcribes reliably — it is still random and unmemorizable. Easy to remember means built from random words you can hold in your head. This page solves transcription; the memorable password generator solves memorization.

Five characters: I (capital i), l (lowercase L), 1 (one), O (capital o), and 0 (zero). In most fonts these form two clusters of near-identical glyphs, and they account for the vast majority of transcription errors. Every remaining letter, digit, and symbol stays in the pool.

Yes. Each character is drawn uniformly from the reduced pool using the browser’s cryptographic random number generator — the same engine as every other tool here. Nothing about removing look-alikes introduces patterns; it only removes ambiguity for human readers.
