Editing Random password generator (section)

==Websites==
A large number of password generator programs and websites are available on the Internet. Their quality varies and can be hard to assess if there is no clear description of the source of randomness that is used and if source code is not provided to allow claims to be checked. Furthermore, and probably most importantly, transmitting candidate passwords over the Internet raises obvious security concerns, particularly if the connection to the password generation site's program is not properly secured or if the site is compromised in some way. Without a [[secure channel]], it is not possible to prevent eavesdropping, especially over public networks such as the [[Internet]]. A possible solution to this issue is to generate the password using a client-side programming language such as JavaScript. The advantage of this approach is that the generated password stays in the client computer and is not transmitted to or from an external server.{{Original research inline|date=April 2024}}

=== Web Cryptography API ===
The '''[[Web Cryptography API]]''' is the [[World Wide Web Consortium]]’s (W3C) recommendation for a low-level interface that would increase the security of [[Web application|web applications]] by allowing them to perform [[Cryptography|cryptographic functions]] without having to access raw keying material. The Web Crypto API provides a reliable way to generate passwords using the <code>crypto.getRandomValues()</code> method. Here is the simple Javascript code that generate the strong password using web crypto API.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Generate a Secure Random Password Using Web Crypto API and Javascript |url=https://gist.github.com/fearspear/4d757e956b0ff92ad0412691fbfc322f |access-date=2024-01-06 |website=github.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Step-by-step process of creating a robust password using Web Crypto API |url=https://passwordlab.io/blog/step-by-step-process-of-creating-a-robust-password-using-web-crypto-api |access-date=2024-01-06 |website=passwordlab.io}}</ref>
