Sometimes there are also simple ways which are as good as any

head -c 20 /dev/random | xxd -ps

I get a vertical scroll bar in the text of the password in Chrome. It would be nice if you can hide it.

Where is the code? It would be nice if all the javascript code is in the same page without external javascript files, so the user can "verify" that you are not doing anything shady.

Are you using a cryptographic random generator? Anyway, my guess is that the people that ask the question is paranoid enough to not use this page to generate the password for the secret bank account or something.

I'm not able to repro the vertical scroll bar. Did you mean horizontal? It will scroll horizontally past a certain point. The code is not open source but I could definitely make it such that it is, I think that is a good idea. I am using a random generator, yes.

Take a look at https://imgur.com/a/GR6pxOC I added an arrow pointing to the problem.

It's a normal random generator or a cryptographic random generator?
