I developed password generator app. Its made on progresive web application technology.
I would like to know the opinion of users:
- Is the site easy to use?
- Do you like the design?
- What should I improve?

Cool product and great tips on the page. Thanks for sharing and making this available.
Welcome to TalkGraphics. :)
Anyone considering using any 3rd party to generate a password should think very hard about this.
This may be a genuine service, but I would never ever use a service such as this.

On a very basic level I don't see how this is any different to a spam post.
Good points Paul :think:Quote:

as far as a computer is concerned a character is a character is character, they are all the same and it makes no difference at all to a hacking program [a jumble of so-called special characters might make it less easy for someone looking over your shoulder, but you are not going to let that happen are you?]
as is sadly the case a lot of industry lags behind on this still
you need long passwords that are easy to remember and at the very least 24 characters; twelve is too short, what you need are as high a number of permutions as possible

and as the referrenced article states - a reputable password manager is what you should be aiming for
The point is more about whether or not people should trust any password of any kind handed to them by a website they know nothing about.
Do you trust the password to be difficult to crack? Do you trust the website not to be handing out the same password to multiple people? Do you trust the website not to be passing the password to third parties? Do you trust the website not to be harvesting what it can about you and squirreling that away with your free password?
On a secondary level should we be following links to unknown websites in the first place and assuming they are working in our best interest?
The link to the site may be bona-fide, but I can't tell and I doubt anyone else can. It seems to be operating from Russia with the poster residing in the Ukraine.
If one wants an easy to remember password,one should use a sentence.
Besides there are password manager apps that are offline and provided with a built-in generator.
I think that should be a given Paul... to anyone who understands security, anyway... ;)Quote:

I am removing the link in your post and locking this thread. If you have a problem with this, please contact me.
