Alphanumeric passwords

How to stay strong when punctuation is not allowed

Some systems reject special characters because of legacy validation, device keyboards, or strict input rules. In those cases, the safest response is usually to increase length and keep randomness.

Use more characters

Removing symbols reduces the character pool. Compensate by using a longer password with uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers enabled.

Keep similar characters in mind

If the password will be typed manually, excluding O, 0, I, l, and 1 can reduce mistakes. If it will only be pasted from a password manager, keeping them may be fine.

Watch for hidden maximums

Older systems that ban punctuation often also have a maximum length. If a long password is rejected, check whether the form silently limits the number of characters.

Do not reuse a simpler password

A no-symbol password can still be strong when it is long and random. It becomes risky when it is reused, based on a name, or only slightly changed from another account.

Example

A legacy form that allows letters and numbers only

For a form that accepts 16 to 32 characters and no punctuation, use 20 characters with uppercase, lowercase, and numbers enabled. Leave symbols off, then generate a new value instead of simplifying an existing password.

Troubleshooting

The form still rejects the result

Check whether the site requires an exact length, bans a particular letter or number, or requires every listed character group. If it shows a maximum length, switch to Website Requirement Mode and enter both limits before generating again.

Recommended settings

  • Use at least 18 to 24 characters when the site allows it.
  • Keep uppercase, lowercase, and numbers enabled.
  • Exclude similar characters for passwords you type by hand.
  • Generate a separate value for every account or device.

FAQ

How do I generate a password without special characters?

Turn off Include symbols. The generated password will use only the enabled letter and number groups.

Can an alphanumeric password still be strong?

Yes. Use a longer length and include uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers.

Can I exclude confusing letters and numbers?

Yes. Exclude similar characters to avoid values such as O, 0, I, l, and 1.
