[FREE] Secure Password Generator

Govind · Jan 19, 2012

Find it hard to think of unguessable/uncrackable passwords on your own?

On behalf of the Sythe.org staff body, I have written a secure password generator that will generate complex, uncrackable passwords for you to use on your Sythe.org, Runescape, and MSN accounts.

Works on Windows XP and higher.

If you receive an error about "MSVCR100.DLL" missing, install this as well:

Works well, thank you for this Govind. I suggest adding a little note at the bottom that states you should save your password(s) on a document somewhere, because remembering these are impossible, and some people might forget that.

Looks interesting, and secure. Will download this now. Thanks Govind!

Thanks for share, although I've a method that works very similar
I'll explain it in easy steps:

1. Prepare yourself mentally
2. Headbang the keyboard
3. Profit

No but seriously, will be helpful to the part of the community that makes passwords the same as nicknames /facepalm

Thanks guys, hope you find it useful

Added a link to the source code for those interested.

Actually it is a bit too randomized for myself. I don't like the odd symbols etc that it adds in. You should stick to letters and numbers and still be secure.

something like ]2Z>/'[[;] is much to hard to remember.

I currently just stick to a long password with letters and numbers and its all good. Just keep it written down somewhere.

edit: Sorry, forgot to thank you. Even though I think it has some issues it is a good share, thanks for posting!
re-edit: Haha, can't even believe that I downloaded something called "passgen.exe" (totally safe just sayin')

You can omit all the symbols from the password if you don't want to use them.

Eg. change
)=hadNz]?en0[:a
To hadNzen0a

I think that a long, random password like this would be helpful for a forum like this though. If you save the password (on hand, not on a computer) you only really need to input it once here with the whole auto logon thing.

I agree with the long random password idea, just like I have on most of my accounts on runescape etc.

I just think that the symbols should be omitted and instead replaced with more letters/numbers.

Govind: For some reason the whole window does not show up and I can't see everything(even though I can generate passwords) and no way that I can see to expand it. Any ideas?

Source looks good although I didn't think symbols were permitted in passwords.

Nonetheless, great share.

Thanks buddy.

I guess the same thing could be accomplished by pressing some random letters on the keyboard, but hey, this is still pretty cool.

Also, I've had the "MSVCR100.DLL" issue with a couple of other programs on my PC and you just managed to fix them

Thanks
