What is a WordPress Password Generator?

The WordPress Password Generator tool helps you create strong, random passwords or WordPress password hashes that can be directly inserted into the WordPress database. It uses PHP’s built-in wp_hash_password() function to create hashes compatible with WordPress authentication.

Why Use This Tool?

  • Secure Accounts: Generate complex, unguessable passwords.
  • Admin Recovery: Reset lost or compromised WordPress admin passwords.
  • Developer Use: Create password hashes for new users directly in the database.
  • One-Click Hashing: No need to log into WordPress to generate a hash.

Example

Password:

MyStrongPassword@2025

WordPress Hash Output:

$P$BzqfC0hvhZPzA6x4u8QyYZQnBfzg40/

How It Works

  1. Type your password into the input box.
  2. Click Generate.
  3. The tool instantly creates a secure WordPress password hash.
  4. Copy and paste the hash into your WordPress database (e.g., wp_users table).

Code Examples

To reset an admin password, you can run an SQL query like this:

UPDATE wp_users 
SET user_pass = '$P$BzqfC0hvhZPzA6x4u8QyYZQnBfzg40/' 
WHERE user_login = 'admin';

Best Practices

  • Always use strong passwords with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols.
  • Do not reuse old or compromised passwords.
  • Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for additional security.
  • Regularly update passwords for admin and privileged accounts.

FAQ

Q1: Can I generate plain text passwords too?
A: Yes, you can generate both plain random passwords and WordPress-compatible password hashes.

Q2: Where is the hash stored?
A: WordPress stores user passwords in the wp_users table under the user_pass column.

Q3: Is this tool safe?
A: Yes, it generates hashes locally. Always use HTTPS and avoid exposing plain-text passwords.

Conclusion

The WordPress Password Generator is an essential tool for developers, administrators, and users who want to create strong and secure login credentials. Use it to strengthen security, recover lost accounts, or insert new users directly into the database with proper WordPress-compatible hashes.
