Password Generator

Sometimes thinking of a simple password for personal security can be mind-wrenching, especially if you work in a job environment where you have to constantly change your passwords. For those of you who'd rather avoid such trivial matters, a password generating utlity is just what you need.

One such tool is Password Generator, an easy-to-use program that has one purpose: to generate 6-to-10 character-long passwords.

The program's installation process is done within seconds so that you can get right to generating passwords and securing your data.

The GUI (Graphical User Interface) is easy to understand, with only three selectable options available (mixed-, upper- and lower-case), as such making up a new password cannot get any simpler.

It is worth mentioning that the product's GUI reflects its development year (1998), with its grey window and low-resolution text, both of which may be a turn-off for younger users. Although, if you consider how trivial its purpose is and taking into consideration that you won't be spending more than 10 seconds with it at a time, it is a detail which can be overlooked easily.

The customization of the password, despite seeming simple at first glance, is complex considering the possible combinations of characters. These can be mixed-, upper- or lower-case, while the words themselves can be either alphanumeric (combination of letters and numbers) or pseudo-words.

Pseudo-words are passwords created using a special set of rules to make them semi-pronounceable. The rules are deliberately loose enough to prevent the created passwords from being guessed easily. The passwords can be six-to-ten characters long.

If you are looking to secure your personal data in the form of work, mail and gaming accounts, and don't want to bother thinking of complicated passwords, Password Generator might be the right tool for you.
