A password providing maximum security within its length is, of course, a random password. This program will help create any "alphanumeric combination" to your taste. You just have to remember the abracadabra received (training your memory at the same time). It is possible to configure which characters will be present in the password (uppercase, lowercase letters, numbers), as well as the length of the received password. Perhaps the definition of additional characters.
An attack of a known type of plaintext can be used under this circumstance not only to decode two other files, but also to track the password. An attack of a type of known type of text is very difficult, but usually it is the one that gives the best results. Password management is a growing problem, the number of sites, services and online tools that we use is huge and we have a password for each of them. Most people use very weak passwords and, as long as they are not enough, re-use them on several sites.
This program does not encrypt data, it only helps to come up with a password that is difficult to crack using brute force.
Additional features
3. All settings, as well as the position of the window, are remembered (or not remembered, depending on the position of the checkbox) and restored on startup. The generated passwords, of course, are not remembered anywhere.
The first rule for the security of our data is to use complex and always different passwords. Creating passwords that respect all security criteria and remembering them is not easy. For this reason, password administrators, password processors, programs that allow you to archive passwords and use them to access sites automatically become useful.
Password Managers are programs that allow you to safely store your passwords, hard disk or online servers. Passwords are actually encrypted, and to access the database you need to remember only one password, called the main password. Important is the integration with browsers. Archival access data can actually be used to automatically access sites without having to enter a username and password every time.
4. Copying to the clipboard and clearing the clipboard, the ability to show or not show the password and clear the clipboard on exit.

The program is distributed free of charge (FreeWare). Terms of use are specified in the readme.txt file.
Password managers do more than store data. These programs also provide tools to create secure passwords for use. Among the additional features that are present in some applications, we find the synchronization of information that allows you to use data on any device.
Password managers can be divided into three categories: those that are integrated into the browser, online, and programs that will be installed on a computer that will archive information locally. We see in more detail the various tools available and what are the advantages and disadvantages of various solutions.

Password Managers for Browsers
The operation is quite simple, when you enter the site by entering a username and password, the information can be stored in an encrypted database on your computer. When you need to access the site again, the browser can get information and use it to automatically fill in the login data.
Advantages and disadvantages Password managers embedded in browsers are certainly convenient, but this is a rejected solution. Passwords stored this way can be easily obtained from any person accessing a computer. In addition to limited security, we need to consider the lack of useful features, such as creating random passwords and setting expiration warnings, which we find instead in programs to install on your computer.
A small program for generating passwords. In the program, you can specify from which characters to create a password, how long the password should be. The program will be convenient for everyone who needs to invent many different passwords. With the help of a program that generates passwords, the safest passwords are invented, because it is almost impossible to pick up such passwords. And if you need to make the password even more secure, then add special characters in the password, someone cannot pick up such a password for 100 percent.
Online password managers are tools that allow you to store access data in encrypted databases hosted on the servers of the company providing this service. The database is protected by a password "Master Password", which must be entered to access information. To access the database, you obviously need to connect to the network.
Advantages and disadvantages Internet password handlers definitely offer a higher level of security than those built into your browser. They also provide useful features, such as creating a secure password, managing alerts, and the ability to store additional information in a database. Another advantage is, of course, access to your passwords from any computer with a network connection.
When adding a program to the catalog of our site, the link to the Password Generator was checked by the antivirus, but since the file is on the server of the developer or publisher of the software, it can be changed, we recommend checking the files in On mode before downloading the software to your computer -Line antivirus - will open in a new window and will be checked!
Of course, there are potential risks to consider. Passwords in your database may be at risk if the server of the company providing the service is at risk and the main password is not protected. Do not exclude the possibility of closing the service. This makes us realize how important it is to use only online password managers that are managed by well-known, series-based and active companies for several years.
As in the case of other similar tools, passwords are stored in a local database, which is accessed through a master password. The application has a very simple, not very well-designed interface and does not offer advanced features, such as synchronization between multiple devices. Browser integration is also limited to auto-in feature.
