How to use the Random String Generator

  1. Choose the type, length and how many.
  2. For custom strings, pick character sets and exclude look-alikes.
  3. Generate, then copy or download.

Frequently asked questions

Are the strings secure?

Yes. They use crypto.getRandomValues with no bias between characters.

How long should an API token be?

32 characters from letters and digits (about 190 bits) is plenty for most uses.

What does excluding look-alikes do?

It removes 0, O, l, 1 and I so strings are easier to read and type.
