Password Tech Portable

The first recommendations you get when looking to create a new password for one of your accounts is to avoid using the same login credentials for multiple accounts and combine different types of characters to build complex strings that are difficult to guess. Luckily, there is a plethora of tools out there that are ready to help you create secure passwords and passphrases. Formerly known as PWGen Portable, Password Tech Portable is an cost-free tool you can call to when in need for a reliable password generator.

The portable edition of Password Tech requires no installation. In other words, there will be no leftover files upon the removal of this application, and the Windows registry will not suffer any modifications.

Password Tech Portable can be launched directly from a removable USB drive and used on the go, on any computer.  

Password Tech Portable works with user profiles, which allows it to remember certain configurations. Once a profile is created and selected, you can move on to configuring the characters to use when generating passwords.

You are free to select the character set you want from a drop-down list, which includes upper and lower case alphanumeric characters, symbols, the hexadecimal character set (0 to 9, A to F or a to f) and higher ANSI characters. Phonetic passwords can be generated with Password Tech Portable. Passphrases can also be generated based on a word list file, by combining words with characters.

There are also a few readily available password formats that you can take advantage of, as well as advanced passwords options that you can use to exclude certain characters, exclude duplicates, avoid character repetitions, and so on.

Having security in mind, Password Tech Portable features clipboard encrypting and decrypting, automatic clipboard and password box clearing , automatic application locking, periodic backups and automatic saving. The generated passwords use the 256-bit AES-CTR or ChaCha20 algorithms.

What is interesting about Password Tech Portable is that it gives you more control over the password format and the generating algorithm. You can even redefine ambiguous characters and special symbols.

Unlike other such utilities, in Password Tech Portable you don’t' just select a length and click a button to get the password. Instead, you get to also choose the password contents and its format, and go through more detailed configuration settings to set up the password generator yourself.
