Which special characters are included?

By default: ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + - = [ ] { } | ; ' : " , . / ? You can remove specific characters if a site does not accept them.

What if a website rejects my generated password?

Some sites have maximum length limits, banned characters, or specific rules that differ from standard policies. Regenerate with the specific allowed character set and length requirements for that site.

Do special characters make passwords significantly more secure?

Yes — adding symbols expands the character space and increases brute-force resistance, but length matters more. A 20-character password with only letters is far more secure than an 8-character password with symbols.

Generate Password with Special Characters

Many websites require passwords to contain at least one special character. FixTools generates passwords with symbols (!@#$%^&*) that meet even the strictest password policies — with fine-grained control over which symbols to include.

How to use this tool

💡

Enable the symbols toggle to include special characters in your generated password. Customise which symbols are included to match specific site requirements.

How It Works

Step-by-step guide to generate password with special characters:

1
Enable the symbols/special characters toggle
Turn on the symbol character set in the generator options.
2
Set minimum length
Use at least 16 characters when including symbols to ensure the password is both policy-compliant and genuinely strong.
3
Enable all other character types
Also enable uppercase, lowercase, and numbers so the password meets combination requirements common in corporate and banking policies.
4
Generate and verify
Generate the password. Manually confirm it contains at least one of each required character type before using it.

Real-world examples

Common situations where this approach makes a real difference:

Banking portal compliance

A user creating an account on a bank portal that requires "at least one uppercase, one number, and one symbol" uses the generator with all character types enabled. The generated password immediately passes all validation checks.

Corporate policy compliance

An employee setting a new Active Directory password that must meet complexity requirements (upper, lower, digit, symbol, minimum 12 characters) generates a compliant password instantly rather than trying combinations manually.

Government portal registration

A user registering on a government portal with a strict password policy generates a password with the required character types and confirms it meets the stated minimum length and complexity requirements.

When to use this guide

Use this when a site or system requires a password containing at least one special character, or when you want to maximise password entropy by including the full character set.

Pro tips

Get better results with these expert suggestions:

Exclude symbols that cause issues in some systems

Some legacy systems break when passwords contain certain characters (like single quotes, angle brackets, or backslashes). If you encounter issues, regenerate excluding those specific characters.

Symbols increase entropy significantly

Adding symbols expands the character set from 62 (letters + digits) to 94+ characters. This increases the number of possible passwords for any given length by 50%+, making brute-force attacks much harder.

Check the site's specific symbol requirements

Some sites specify which symbols are allowed (e.g., "must include one of: !@#$") or disallow certain symbols. Match your generated password to the site's exact policy to avoid rejection.
