How do I use this?
This tool is a completely local password generator
that doesn't store any information.
You can save this file on your computer,
in case this website ever disappears.
-
Come up with a Master Key, some strong unpredictable password.
You'll reuse this for all your passwords.
Do not store it anywhere, just memorize it.
-
Come up with a Password Name specific to the password you're generating.
For example, if generating a password for your gmail account,
call it "gmail".
You can store this publicly: write it down, put it in a Google Sheet, whatever.
It's completely safe.
-
Press Long to get a strong 26-character password.
It's automatically put in your clipboard,
so you can go paste it immediately.
-
If the website is badly designed and doesn't support 26 characters,
press Short for a 12-character password.
-
If the website is really badly designed
and has additional requirements,
press More Options,
choose what you need,
then click Generate Custom.
When typing your Master Key, a small "checksum" phrase
will appear above the text field.
This random-looking phrase will always be the same
if your Master Key is the same,
so you can be sure you typed the Master Key correctly
if the phrase matches.
