Password Generator

Password Generator is a lightweight software application you can use to create random and secure passwords on demand by entering a secret key you can remember.

This way, you can generate and recall multiple passwords using various keywords to strengthen the security of your email accounts, wireless network connections, encrypted documents and photos, and so on.

It's a Java-based utility so it's necessary to download and install Java Runtime Environment unless you already have it. The downloaded files of Password Generator can be stored on any part of the disk or moved to a pen drive to directly run it on any PC with Java by just double-clicking the executable .jar file. Unlike many installers, it doesn't make modifications to the system registry or create files on the disk without asking for your permission.

The interface of this program is as simple as possible. There's only one window available so you don't depend on multiple panels to waste time finding the options. It stays on top of other windows, and this cannot be disabled.

All you have to do is type a keyword that shall be used by the application to generate the random password. This process is dynamic, which means that the password completely changes at the slightest modification made to the keyword. The secret key is masked under asterisk in case someone is looking over your shoulder, and the password can be put together with one click.

The task isn't carried out in real time (as you type) but the new key is automatically copied to the Clipboard. It's made of lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and symbols. The longer the keyword is, the longer the password becomes.

To generate a new password, it's necessary to empty the two fields first. Unfortunately, Password Generator doesn't implement features for creating many passwords at the same time to be able to just save the list to file. You have to spend more time to generate one item at a time.
