Roll

Strong passwords, made on your device

A password generator in your browser's toolbar. Copy a password, or right-click any field on a sign-up form and Roll fills it in. Passwords are never saved to disk or sent anywhere.

What it does

  • Five kinds of password: random, passphrases from words, PINs, patterns for sites with strict rules, and passwords you can say. Numbers and symbols can stand in for the letters they look like.
  • An honest strength meter: bits of entropy from how the password was made, and how long it would take to guess.
  • Copy it in one click, or right-click any field and choose “Generate password here” to fill it, so your browser offers to save it.
  • Presets for strong, Wi-Fi and old-site passwords, passphrases and PINs, plus your own. Default is always your last-used settings.
  • Spell it out shows a password character by character, so you can read it aloud or type it on another device.
  • Check a password you already have, with an optional breach check that sends only the first 5 characters of its hash.
  • Nothing is stored or sent: no account, no history, no server. Anonymous usage counts only if you say yes.

Where it runs

It's a browser extension for Chrome, Edge, Brave and Firefox on a computer, one click away in the toolbar.
