  • webpassgen

    Simple web-based password generator

  • Thanks! Note, the source code is at https://github.com/atoponce/webpassgen. I'd rather you opened it locally in your browser rather than trusting my web server. Also, it's probably high time for a new release.

  • passphraseme

    A quick and simple cryptographically secure script to generate high entropy passphrases using EFF's wordlists

  • Also passphraseme is a good one.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • xkcdpass

    Generate secure multiword passwords/passphrases, inspired by XKCD

  • KeePass2.x

    unofficial mirror of KeePass2.x source code

  • Do not use websites to generate passwords! Use only trusted software with verifiable random number generators and algorithms. Such as KeePass.

  • RandomValuesNPP

    Generate random values plug-in for Notepad++. Use this plugin to generate passwords, guids or random datasets in CSV, JSON, XML and SQL formats. Use the fake test data for performance and QA testing to improve software quality in application development, reports, database modeling, webdev etc.

  • The Random Values plug-in in Notepad++ is pretty customizable. It has masks and and option for password safe characters (do not use `1`, `0`, `i`, `o` etc)
