These are username and password generators designed to help regular folks like you and me create login credentials for different websites and social media platforms. They range from standard password generators to more nuanced tools, such as passphrase generators. These tools help users create more varied options for different websites, since more and more require sign-ups to unlock all their features.
Passwords are your first defense against getting hacked. However, most people use passwords that they can easily remember. This issue worsens when people use the same password across multiple websites, which increases the risk of their accounts being hacked tenfold.
One issue is that people use dictionary words, names, simple keyboard patterns like '123456' or 'qwerty', or birthdates as their passwords. That's a recipe for getting hacked. One fix is to use a long password like J4#mTx9q8imnDhgdad-+, but remembering it is next to impossible. So folks revert to sticky notes, reusing passwords, or clicking "Forgot Password" (I'm guilty of this) when they need to log in again.
Password generators solve the issue of creating secure passwords, but they don't solve the storage issue. One way to solve this is to use a password manager (LastPass, 1Password, or Bitwarden) with a strong master password and let it store your passwords for a small monthly fee.
Another option is to save these passwords in an Excel sheet and enter them manually. If you own an iOS device, such as an iPhone, Safari has a built-in password manager that does the same thing at no extra cost.
Once you've decided what password manager to use, the tools here do the rest:
Don't forget to generate a strong password for your password manager.
Remember that your username will appear after your name in every post you make on a particular site. Most sites allow you to change your username later, but it will likely break links to your previous content and could confuse followers of your profile.
The generators on this page fall into two broad categories: the generators for individual platforms (Instagram, TikTok, Discord, Reddit, Xbox and Roblox accounts, etc) – these passwords conform to the platform's maximum length and character set; they attempt to be 'community-appropriate'; and work as logins for that single service. You can use the style generators (e.g., aesthetic, kawaii, edgy, fantasy) to create handles for any service and generate a password appropriate to the style.
So, where are you signing up? If you're looking for a username for a single platform, use a Platform Tool (a generator for a particular service, for example: Instagram, TikTok, Reddit, Discord, Xbox, etc.). These ensure your chosen handle fits character limits and includes any special characters or style marks used by a particular platform or community.
The Style Tool, on the other hand, generates a single username style you can use anywhere. This makes it perfect for people who need to come up with lots of different usernames. Start with a Style Tool and check 5 of your favorite sites against it. Generate 30 different usernames, keep the 4 you like most, and verify that they are available on the 5 sites you use most.
Twelve characters is about the minimum length for a password to withstand brute-force attacks. Most sites still cap passwords at 8, 10, or 12 characters, but it's worth pushing for longer ones for more critical accounts like email, banking, and your password manager's master password. Remember, unique passwords for every account matter far more than long ones.
In comparison to shorter mixtures of characters and numbers like K7$mQx2! for a password manager account, very long passphrases have a lot of "entropy" (randomness/possible combinations) for their length. Even more so than for remembering longer passwords, very long passphrases are much easier to remember than their length would suggest. Passwords for accounts that you let your password manager fill in (e.g. e-commerce sites, esports accounts) should be very short mixtures of characters and numbers, but for very important accounts such as for your password manager master account, or for locking and unlocking a phone/laptop, or for other extremely sensitive accounts that you will have to manually type in again and again, much longer passphrases of random words (so called "passphrases") are much better.
Yes. Usernames are not passwords, so it is just as easy to use the same username across all accounts. Most social media sites display your username next to your content anyway, so it's best to use the one username for your online identity. However, popular usernames are often taken on large platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, so you will need to add a variant to the username for those sites, e.g., your birth year, your city, your middle initial, etc. The username generators on this page attempt to create usernames that are available on most websites.
Easy to read and type out. Avoid combinations with a lowercase L and an uppercase I, as they can get confused with one another. Also avoid usernames that are too long (under 20 characters is recommended; 12 is ideal). Avoid ending a username with a string of numbers or underscores. Typically, people add to the front of an already used username rather than making completely random changes (e.g., adding your city at the front instead of changing the whole thing).
Yes. This is because of credential stuffing. Credential stuffing is when a list of email addresses and passwords from a single breach is used to try to log in to other online accounts. Each reused password can lead to multiple account takeovers within a day or so. Using a password manager to generate, store, and fill in passwords for you is easy to do. Most password managers have a free tier, including Bitwarden, 1Password, and Proton Pass.
