HashPass

It is very important to use strong, different passwords for each of your accounts, so that if one account gets hacked, all your other ones remain secure. HashPass is one of the applications that can help you come up with powerful passwords without any effort on your part.

It needs to be mentioned from the get-go that the utility is a portable one, meaning that you do not need to install it on your computer to enjoy its functionality.

You can run it from removable devices (such as USB stick or a DVD), as long as you have some free space available - you need to keep in mind that if you do not have writing permissions, your configuration will not be saved from one session to the next.

The GUI of HashPass is rather minimalist, so that even those with little PC skills can still use it. More specifically, you can choose the length by entering the number of characters (ranging from 8 to 128).

The type of the characters can also be defined, meaning you can choose between letters, numbers, alphanumeric or special characters.

Next, you need to paste or type some text to be hashed, then generate the password.

The main strong point of HashPass is that it automatically copies the result to clipboard so you can simply paste it in your password manager of choice. In other words, you no longer need to use the keyboard to enter your password manually, which means that you are safe from keyloggers or keystroke monitors.

Moreover, you can set the clipboard to be automatically cleaned within seconds, without any additional input from your part.

HashPass is a nifty application that can help you generate strong passwords and also paste them in your password manager, if you choose to.
