Password Policy Generator

Generate and inspect ID/random/timestamp values in your browser. No input is sent to a server. Use it for first-pass spec compliance checks.

Status

Runs in your browser. No input is sent to a server. Use this as a first-pass diagnostic step.

How to use

Set minimum length and character sets, then click Generate. Tune forbidden characters and use output as a policy draft.

Notes (this tool)

  • This is a basic generator. Final requirements should follow your organization security policy.
  • If your environment has unsupported characters or input limits, verify the allowed character set first.

About this page

What does this tool do?

Enter requirements such as minimum length, character sets, and forbidden chars to generate policy text and validation regex.

Useful for quickly drafting an initial policy or auditing existing requirements.

Recommendations (practical)

  • Prioritize sufficient length and breached-password blocking over complexity-only rules
  • Avoid periodic forced rotation as default; prepare incident-driven reset workflows
  • Use MFA and avoid relying on a single factor

What this tool does

  • Generate policy text template
  • Generate validation regex
  • Apply forbidden characters

Notes

  • Regex validates format only. Strength checks, breach checks, and storage safety require separate design.
  • Do not store plaintext. Use production-grade schemes such as Argon2id or bcrypt.

Debugging workflow (recommended)

  • Generate or paste a value
  • Check format, timestamp, and character constraints
  • Confirm against destination validation requirements

  • OWASP Authentication Cheat Sheet
  • RFC 9106 (Argon2)

FAQ

Do stricter complexity rules always improve security?

Not always. Adequate length and breached-password blocking are often more effective in practice.

Is regex-only validation sufficient?

No. Combine with secure storage, rate limiting, MFA, and audit logging.
