The web server that serves this page never sees these passwords.
A cryptographically secure random number generator was used to create these passwords.
Your browser does not support cryptographically secure random number generation. It is possible that somebody could guess these passwords if they knew the precise millisecond that you used this page.

xkcd comic: Password Strength
This is why you should use random words for passwords. "Tr0b4dor&3": easy to guess and hard to remember. "correct horse battery staple": difficult to guess and you've already memorized it.
Diceware
Arnold G. Reinhold published a word list and method of rolling dice to look up words to make random passwords. The passwords generated by Diceware end up being very similar to the common words passwords here. When using physical dice, you don't need to rely on the security of your computer or the trustworthiness of the software that generates passwords. If you like the word list used by Diceware, you can use it to generate passwords here on passwordcreator.org.
Computerphile video
Watch a researcher use a powerful computer with four graphic cards to crack passwords.
60 percent encrypted passwords from a security breach could be cracked with off the shelf tools.
All passwords of eight or fewer characters are vulnerable to offline attack with the computing power available today.
Hackers can easily crack longer passwords that are based on words and phrases.
Hackers use word lists with close to a billion entries and can try variations on those.
Mangling words and phrases with capitals, numbers, and punctuation offers little protection.
Naked security: 55% of net users use the same password for most, if not all, websites. When will they learn?
"Why does this matter? Well, imagine you are a member of websites X, Y and Z - and you use the same password on each site. If X suffers from a data leak and their password database is accessed, or if hackers manage to work out your password for X, then the bad guys will not only have access to your X account, but Y and Z as well!"
Wikipedia: Single sign-on
Single sign on is a method of using credentials from a single website to log into many websites. Single reduces the number of passwords needed and can increase security:
Reducing password fatigue from different user name and password combinations
Reducing time spent re-entering passwords for the same identity
