Password Generator

Almost every service that counts on your personal details asks for a password to help protect your account. Even logging into Windows requires such a security method, and you can shortly run out of ideas if you use something new for every account. Luckily, there are tons of applications like Password Generator which can help you create a strong password with custom rules.

One advantage in particular is portability, meaning you can carry it around and use it on other computers directly from a USB flash drive, since it requires no installation to function. What’s more, you don’t have to worry about messing up the target PC, because registries don’t need to be modified for the application to work.

The main window holds all fields and rule sets you need to manage to get your hands on a new password. Things may seem a bit complicated at first, but a few seconds in and you quickly get the idea on what and how needs to be tweaked.

Password Generator can use different characters to create your new security key. There are a few sets like uppercase, lowercase, digits, and graphics, but you can also manually write down others, such as particular signs from the character map. However, this is only a fraction of what the application can do.

There’s a strength slider you can adjust from 40 to 256 bits. Apart from this, the application automatically generates five different types of passwords, most with their own configuration options. For instance, you can create Base64, uppercase + digits, custom format, hexadecimal, and S/Key words.

Sadly, there’s no possibility to save all of them to file, or create a list of multiple passwords. What’s more, length is only determined by the strength slider. The only way to save passwords is to manually copy each into a safe document only you have access to.

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Password Generator is a powerful application you can rely on when you’re not feeling inspired enough to create a new password. Despite that it can’t generate entire lists, the variety of passwords and configuration options tips the scales in its favor, making it worth a try overall.
