This site will allow you to specify whether to:

 

  • Allow/exclude spaces

The passwords generated are readable [useful for suggesting passwords to students]

Using Google Chrome, I find either of these two extensions rather good for generating passwords - quick to launch via toolbar buttons and simple to copy the generated password.

DuckDuckGo has a password generator built in (one of its community-made 'Instant Answers').

A search term of 'password' will return an 8-char medium strength password. A search term of 'password 16 strong' returns a 16-char high strength password, etc.

It also does random passphrases too. :)

Note. Passwords should be at least 11 characters...

The random.org generator is "only" uppercase, lowercase, and number. What if we add special characters, to keep Q*Bert happy?

 

8 characters	1 minute
9 characters	2 hours
10 characters	1 week
11 characters	2 years
12 characters	2 centuries

 

That's a bit better, but you can't really feel safe until the 12 character mark even with a full complement of uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and special characters.

 

It's unlikely that massive cracking scenarios will get any slower. While there is definitely a password length where all cracking attempts fall off an exponential cliff that is effectively unsurmountable, these numbers will only get worse over time, not better.
