FAQ

Questions about the Token Generator

How long should an API token or secret be?

32 bytes (256 bits) of randomness is a common choice for signing keys and API tokens and is the default here. Even 16 bytes is out of reach for guessing if the source is truly random.

What is the difference between hex and base64url tokens?

Both encode the same random bytes. Hex uses 2 characters per byte, while base64url is about a third shorter and is safe in URLs and headers because it avoids plus, slash and padding.

Should I use Math.random to make tokens?

No. Math.random is predictable and not meant for security. This tool uses crypto.getRandomValues, the browser cryptographic random generator.

Is the Token Generator free and private?

Yes. It is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so what you type is not uploaded. You only sign in if you want to email a result to yourself or save it to your CareerByteCode profile.
