How to Generate Random Passwords

Long, random passwords are considered strong in the world of security. Their randomness is based on mathematical principles and cannot simply be 'guessed' by someone who is trying to break into one of your accounts.KeePass supplies a Password Generator, to help you with this process. As you have seen above, a random password is automatically generated when you add a new entry. This section will describe how to generate one yourself.

To generate random Passwords follow these steps:

Tools>Password Generator

The Password Generator screen presents a variety of choices for generating a password. You can specify the length of the desired password, the pool of characters from which it will be created and much else. For our purposes, we can use the default options presented. This means that the generated password will be 20 characters long and made up of lower and upper case letters, as well as numbers.

Now click the generate and it will present you the password.

We can view the generated password by clicking
