PassGen

There’s a high chance you’re not too happy with passwords from some accounts, or you frequently change it if you consider your account is at risk. It’s difficult to come up with something new on a regular basis, but you can rely on specialized applications like PassGen to create strong passwords for you.

The visual design is pretty simple, although you might consider it’s fitted with too many features and buttons for a password generator. However, this doesn’t mean it’s difficult to use, on the contrary, you can start generating passwords from the first few seconds of looking at what it has to offer.

Some password requirement fields have length limitations. There’s a dedicated field here you can use to specify length, which can either match the given number, or generate close to it. Characters used can include both lowercase and uppercase letters, with the possibility to disable alphabet characters completely, with other choices for numerals, special characters, or a custom selection.

Moreover, PassGen can add prefix and suffix if the right options are enabled, with corresponding fields for the text you want to assign. Every time you hit the generate button, a new password shows up in a text list, along with a strength indicator to let you know whether or not you should generate a new one.

A neat advantage is the possibility to have more passwords generated at a time. All of them end up on the list. These can be individually selected to view strength, but there are also options that let you export all of them to file, just so you don’t use one and forget it.

PassGen is a trustworthy application that can be used to generate unique passwords every time you hit the trigger button. Various options let you thoroughly customize the process by specifying characters to use, and whether or not to repeat them. It can even be used to create a bunch of passwords, which can then be saved to file.
