Why this tool exists
Password Generator issues secure strings for onboarding, incident response, and compliance reviews—all with entropy reporting so policies stay defensible.
Credential rotation
Issue unique secrets for service accounts, deploy tokens, or VPN access without leaving the browser.
Incident readiness
Regenerate credentials on the fly when responding to compromise without depending on third-party SaaS.
Compliance approvals
Share entropy metrics and preset details with auditors so password policies stay verifiable.
Quick start
Choose a preset, tweak the builder if necessary, then copy unique passwords with full metrics for your runbook.
- Launch the Password Generator, choose a preset (balanced, maximum, memorable, or PIN), or switch to Custom.
- Adjust length, count, character sets, and the avoid-ambiguous toggle to match your policy requirements.
- Generate passwords, review the entropy + pool metrics, then copy or reveal individual secrets for distribution.
Supported inputs
- Length accepts 4–128 characters and auto-expands if you require more unique sets than the chosen length.
- Generate 1–50 passwords per submission, each guaranteed to include at least one character from every selected set.
- Character sets include lowercase, uppercase, digits, and symbols; the ambiguous toggle strips lookalikes like l/I/0/O/B/8.
Mode 01
Preset workflows
Balanced, Maximum, Memorable, and Numeric PIN presets ship battle-tested defaults so everyone follows the same policy.
- Preset cards describe when to use Balanced, Maximum, Memorable, or Numeric PIN defaults, including length and character coverage.
- Switching presets resets the defaults instantly, and diverging from those defaults flips the selector to Custom so policies are transparent.
- Quick samples mirror the presets so you can point stakeholders to recommended use cases before running the generator.
Mode 02
Custom builder
Switch to Custom any time you need exact character sets or length/count combos beyond the presets.
- Select one or more character sets; the UI prevents empty selections and keeps lowercase/uppercase/digits/symbols clearly labeled.
- Set the desired length and count—limits prevent accidental 0-length results and ensure each password contains every selected set.
- Use the “Avoid ambiguous characters” toggle when you need visually distinct output for phone handoffs or compliance reviews.
Entropy & metrics
Every generation surfaces the math auditors ask for—entropy bits, pool size, and per-set counts.
- The entropy badge displays bits of entropy plus a friendly label (Moderate, Strong, Maximum) for quick approvals.
- Pool size shows how many unique characters remain after the ambiguous filter so you can defend the effective alphabet.
- Character set summaries list each included group, their descriptions, and remaining character counts for runbooks.
Outputs & sharing
Copy one password or batches, reveal temporarily, and lean on visual confirmations before pasting into a vault.
- Each password card includes copy buttons with success indicators plus reveal/hide toggles to avoid screen leaks.
- Increase the Count value to issue multiple passwords in one submission—each field keeps its own copy confirmation.
- The “Show all” control reveals the entire batch temporarily, making it simple to capture secure handoff screenshots.
Field notes
Habits that keep password distribution safe and repeatable.
- Pair Balance or Maximum presets with password-manager entries immediately so secrets never linger in plain text.
- Generate fresh passwords whenever you paste one into chat or a ticket; the tool never stores history server-side.
- Document which presets the team should use (e.g., Maximum for production, Memorable for temporary labs) to reduce guesswork.
- Use the ambiguous toggle for phone or screen-share handoffs, then disable it when you need the absolute highest entropy.
