  3. Use this online password generator to create a secure, random password. Password generation is done client-side (on your computer) using JavaScript. This means that LastPass never has access to any of the passwords you generate here. If you're using LastPass, you would only have to remember one master password, and LastPass can generate passwords for you on all of your sites.
