Online Password Generator by Veign
« on: December 09, 2006, 10:38 PM »
Make Password is another tool I threw togther quickly for a personal need and figured I would release in case others had a need. What this online tools does is create lists of random passwords and hash values. Its kinda of useful for individuals looking for inspiration on creating passwords and extremely useful for developers who often need to setup default passwords in a database.

You control the password length, character sets, hash values, quantity to create, and even the method to display the results.

As always, comments and suggestions are welcomed and encouraged.

For ideas, I suggest you take a look at the Password Construction Kit from ButtUglySoftware. I use that utility all the time and like all of the neat features it has. If your site did all that it did, I wouldn't have to worry about installing it on all my sysadmin workstations.  :P

What specifically is my missing? 

If its the ability to create 50K passwords I was worried about server load but will increase the max qty passwords over time when things stabalize with users.

The big one is having some control over the format of the password. PCK uses "masks"

[attach=#1][/attach]

For example, I might want the template to be Word(4)+Number+Special+Word(6)

Words coming from the standard english word dictionary file.

Creating masks for password I can see as something to implement but words would be difficult because I would have to have huge word lists to accomodate large password lists.

I just added an option for type-safe passwords which would exclude: i,I,l,o,O,0,1.  This will help create passwords which elminate the confusion with certain characters.

That's a great idea.

Cool idea: “Make Password” site by Veign
« Reply #8 on: December 10, 2006, 09:40 PM »
Some people are naturally creative; I’m not one of them, but Chris Hanscom of Veign Software is. Veign Software also offers a buffet of original and useful donationware. Check out his latest Web 2.0 service site of late:


http://www.maord.com/

It's described thus:
One of the easiest online password generators which can generate a single random password or lists of hundreds of random passwords. You choose the character sets, password length and the quantity to create. Hash values can also be created for your convenience. This password generator is useful for getting a random password for personal use or for generating large lists of default passwords.

And if you think this is cool, check out his Quick Thumbnail site for resizing images before uploading them to sites, blogs, email, whatever. Brilliant!
