Free Password Generator Tool


Cyberx Password Generator is an easy to use password generator program available for install or portable, the software can create random and pronounceable passwords that are very difficult to brute force(cracking a password using dictionary words). Some websites let you create hard to guess passwords online but they could be intercepted in the process, creating a password using a website it is not a security good idea. This free open source password generator works offline, it can be sent to your Windows taskbar and launched with a single click when you need it.

The password generator settings allow for great customization, they can be set to predispose certain prefix and/or suffix, specify password length, which can be of in between 1 and 1028 characters, specify if numbers and special characters can be used (some sites don’t allow them), and excluding of characters that are similar, you might want to get rid of the letter O and number zero when creating a password as they often lead to confusion

Once you have created your password or a list of passwords of up to a thousand contained in a single list, you can export them as .txt, .htm, .csv or .xml, copy the password to the clipboard to be used straight away, or copy the SHA1 and MD5 hash values instead. The password details window will let you know the entropy of the password in bits and a coloured bar will indicate its strength, you also get the hash values of your password.

Cyberx is user friendly and a good alternative to diceware, a crude way to create random passwords using dices, the help file is only available in Italian online, but this is not a big issue, if you get lost just creating a password click on the “i” icon next to each box and an informative help window will popup telling you what each settings box is for.
