Random UUID

A version 4 UUID is 122 random bits written in a shape everything agrees on. These come from the browser’s cryptographic random source, so they are as unguessable as the ones your database would have made.

Version 4, and it says so

The thirteenth character is always 4 and the seventeenth is one of 8, 9, a or b. Those are not random: they are the version and variant marks that tell anything reading the UUID that the rest of it was drawn at random.

That leaves 122 bits of actual randomness — enough that you can generate them all day without ever expecting to see the same one twice.

Made here, not fetched

Nothing is requested from a server. The UUIDs are built in this tab from the browser’s own random source, which is the same source a password manager uses.

Which also means nobody, including this site, has a record of what you generated.
