P-Key Password Generator

P-Key Password Generator is a neat little Firefox add-on that can generate a random password based on simple parameters like letters, numbers, and symbols. It might come in handy for users who prefer Firefox and want to have a quick way of generating passwords to use while creating accounts, directly from within the browser.

Sadly, generating a password cannot be done instantly. Due to the add-on's design, the user must pick the content parameters from a single menu that cycles them in order to let you make the choices

Indeed, this could be seen as an interesting way to create a password, more playful, but those who are looking to generate combinations on the spot might dislike the pace at which this extension is set.

Simple passwords, difficult ones, or in between — you can create whatever. The parameters are uppercase, lowercase (letters), numbers, symbols, and password length. The highest number of characters is 40. Once you're satisfied with the prerequisites, the password will be displayed.

The biggest downside with this extension is the impossibility to copy the combinations to the clipboard. Even more so, if you accidentally click inside or outside the add-on's UI after the password was displayed, the menu will close.

In conclusion, P-Key Password Generator feels like a double-edged sword. Despite its neat approach to the overall process, the add-on manages to disappoint when it comes to saving the passwords to the clipboard. However, the add-on remains functional, doing what it's supposed to do.

Nonetheless, with a bit of work in the right areas, this add-on could become a handy little helper.
