Django SECRET_KEY for settings.py
General purpose API authentication key
JSON Web Token signing secret
Redis authentication password
Safe database password (no special chars)
Universally unique identifier
Customizable key with your preferences
Cryptographically Secure
All keys are generated using crypto.getRandomValues() for maximum security.
Entropy Guidelines
Best Practices
URL-safe Base64 encoding (like openssl rand -base64)
kJ8vN2mQ7xR9...
Lowercase hex characters (0-9, a-f)
a1b2c3d4e5f6...
Letters and numbers only (safe for databases)
K8vN2mQ7xR9...
Generate a secure SECRET_KEY for your Django settings.py:
SECRET_KEY = "your-generated-50-character-key-here"
Create secure API keys for service authentication:
X-API-Key: your-generated-api-key-here
Secure keys for .env files and configuration:
JWT_SECRET=your-jwt-secret-here
REDIS_PASSWORD=your-redis-password-here
DB_PASSWORD=your-database-password-here
Security Level | Entropy (bits) | Recommendation | Use Cases |
---|---|---|---|
Excellent | 128+ bits | Recommended | Production, sensitive data |
Good | 80-127 bits | Acceptable | Most applications |
Fair | 60-79 bits | Use with caution | Low-risk environments |
Weak | <60 bits | Not recommended | Testing only |
This tool replicates the functionality of openssl rand -base64 32
and similar commands, but with additional presets and customization options for different frameworks and use cases.
