FreePasswordGen : Instantly generate short, medium or long passwords made from randomizing lowercase letters, numbers and symbols, or based on words
FreePasswordGen is a small-sized application that generates random and secure passwords made from lowercase letters, numbers and symbols,.The program comes in handy for creating powerful keys you can use to protect your documents, photos, files, apps, email accounts, and wireless network connections, among others.
No setup required, besides .NET Framework
As long as you have .NET Framework installed on the PC, you don't need to set up anything else. The entire tool's packed in a single .exe file that can be dropped in a preferred directory on the disk or copied to a USB flash drive, in order to seamlessly launch FreePasswordGen on any machine with minimum effort and no previous installers. It doesn't modify Windows registry settings or create files on the HDD.
Outdated GUI for password generation
It gets launched in a maximized window that can be resized. It has a rudimentary appearance, due to the dark red background with basic buttons, making it look like an unfinished project.It's possible to generate short, medium or long passwords, depending on the preferred amount of characters, which combine lowercase letters, numbers and symbols in a random order.Alternatively, you can create more user-friendly keys based on words, numbers and symbols, which can also be applied as usernames.
Evaluation and conclusion
Passwords were instantly created in our tests, during which the app remained light on system resources consumption. We haven't experienced any stability issues, as it didn't hang, crash or show error dialogs.On the other hand, FreePasswordGen doesn't make room for configuration for experienced users. For instance, it cannot create multiple passwords at the same time, not does it give you the possibility to customize the key complexity. It's ideal for beginners, though, and it's free for non-commercial use.
