PassPub: Automatically generate secure passwords online

If you use and reuse the same password over and over again, or if you're not very creative when it comes to making up passwords, you might want to head on over to PassPub, a site that automatically generates strong, unique passwords for your immediate adoption.

When PassPub first loads, you'll see a selection of 8 character passwords, randomly generated. You can feel free to use any of the passwords on the list; but if you want to get real creative, you can work with any of the customizable options on the sidebar.

Want something a little more memorable than GoSg8buu? You can choose a password made up of chemical elements (e.g., Ti8Ir0Bh4) or you can get mnemonic like Johnny (alternate vowels and consonants, suffixed by a 3 digit number, e.g., ZuXuFU715). There are also sections for generating WEP keys and WPA keys.

If you worry about the security risks of generating a password online, don't. No personal details are requested when using PassPub, each page generated is unique, and each page is shown from a secure server (verified by GoDaddy.com).

Safe password generator

safe password generatorIf you are in the habit of changing your computer and online passwords every month like you should be, you know how hard it is to think of something that is secure enough. Enter SafePasswd. This online tool generates random passwords based on a number of different criteria.

First you choose your type of password:
  • Easy to remember
  • Letters A - Z
  • Number 0 - 9
  • Letters and Number
  • All characters
  • Hex
Then you choose your desired length, from 1 to 512 characters.

What's great about this tool is that you are guaranteed to get a secure random password. SafePasswd shows a password quality meter that determines if the password is secure enough. A great feature is the ability to play around with the selectors until you get a password that you are happy with. No more lame unsecured passwords, these are the real deal. Now, trying to remember them is a different story.
