Features
- So that you do not accidentally lock yourself out of your own accounts etc., passwords must be reliably readable. Therefore, the passwords created by this program
- never contain the capital letter “I” (can be confused with digit “1” and lowercase letter “l”) and the capital letter “O” (can be confused with digit “0”),
- never contain the lowercase letter “l”.
- You can choose which of the following character groups are required in the password to be created, or which groups are allowed:
- digits
- capital letters
- lowercase letters
- special characters, which you can specify yourself
- You can choose the length of the password (from 4 to 80 characters). Choosing only 4 characters is not secure, of course. However, if you choose to use only digits, you can generate a PIN (which typically consists of 4 digits, at least in Germany).
- Due to the requirements e.g. for logging in to some websites, the number of identical characters in the password is limited (1 to 4), as is the number of adjacent consecutive characters (1 to 3), e.g. “abc” or “cba”.
- The generated password can be copied to the clipboard in a secure way:
- It does not appear in the Windows 10+ clipboard history.
- It does not appear in the Windows 10+ cloud clipboard.
- It will be automatically deleted from the clipboard after a chosen time (5 to 60 seconds), or when the program is terminated.
- By default (“Language = auto” in the INI file), the program's language is German on German systems and English on all other systems. However, you can force the language to German or English by changing the INI file accordingly.
- You can create a new LNG file by translating an existing one. That file will be used by the program, if its name is entered in the INI file (without the LNG extension).
If you send me your translated language file, I'll offer it for download on my website, and the next version of the program will automatically support this language.
