Password Generator 2010 is much more than just a password generator - it's an enterprise-level solution for generating unique & secure random passwords / keycodes / numbers / serial numbers / usernames / any other short pieces of random "text" (to reflect this fact, the word "password" on this website refers to a wide variety of strings that this product can generate, and not just to passwords per se). Building on over 7 years of experience (previously the product was made by Diplodock), Password Generator 2010 offers the most advanced set of features available in any random code generation application!

This Diagram Shows Product's Key Eelements & How They Work Together:

Character Groups

- Character groups are distinct sets of characters used by the program to determine which characters should appear and how often.

- Thus, each character group lets you define which characters it contains, and the probability of their appearance.

- There are built-in character groups, like lower case that contain only their respected characters, which can be turned on and off on a per-character basis.

- But you can also define up to 9 custom character groups with the characters of your choice.

Generation Modes

- Basic Mode allows you to quickly generate strong, but simple passwords.

- Advanced Mode gives you more control over password generation: character composition and order can be tweaked quite precisely.

- Masking Mode is the most advanced. It lets you use words and sequences and gives you full control over character placement and composition.

- Pronounceable Mode lets you generate passwords that can be pronounced easily.

"Words"

You can use words or other textual items in your passwords! These items can be taken from any of the 4 built-in Dictionaries, your own Dictionary (practically an external text file), or even from a Database.

In addition you can control which items are to be taken with various filters, and how they are supposed to be manipulated using letter-case masks, and other tools. And what's more - you can have several such textual items in your password!

RNGs

The program can use any of the following Random Number Generators (RNGs) to create randomness, necessary for random password generation:

• XorShift128 - is a xorshift pseudo-random number generator with period 2^128-1. It is the fastest RNG.
• MT19937 - is a Mersenne Twister pseudo-random number generator with period 2^19937-1.
• ALF - is an Additive Lagged Fibonacci pseudo-random number generator that uses the modulus 232 and, by default the, "lags" 418 and 1279.
• Cryptographically Secure - is Cryptographically Strong RNG (FIPS-140 (Federal Information Processing Standard) compliant).
• System - is a simple pseudo-random number generator.

Sequences

Sequences are quite far from being random. Essentially they are elements that you can use in masks, whenever you want the codes you are generating to have incrementally adjusted and formatted parts. For example, you may want to generate 10 000 codes, where first 5 characters should be in the form 00001 through 10000, that is this part should be incremented by 1 starting from 00001 and formatted with all leading zeroes included. Sequences allow for exactly such a thing!

But sequences need not be decimal. They can be binary, hexadecimal, alphanumeric, or in fact of any base up to base 36. In addition, you can specify starting value, increment amount (positive to advance, negative to decrement), maximum and minimum value, and other settings. You can define up to 9 custom sequences.

Also note that sequences are a nice way to make sure that all generated passwords / codes are unique (but there is a special uniqueness setting as well).

Character Policies

Character Policies are special options that you can turn on and off (and tweak a little) that make sure certain conditions and requirements are met for the passwords being generated. For example, your policy may be that you allow no more than 2 consecutive characters in your passwords, so that abedgh is allowed, but not abcefg; or maybe you are not allowing repeating characters like the letter s in the word password. In all these cases, character policies help you ensure that all these restrictions are followed.

Resources

Resources can be thought of as building blocks for whatever the program generates. These building blocks include:

• Character Groups - distinct sets of characters grouped together
• "Words" - any short pieces of text that are taken from the "dictionary" (built-in one, textual file, or database)
• Sequences - dynamically generate sequential "numbers" in a predefined format
• Masks - allow total control over the placement and quantification of the above 3 types of building blocks
• Literals - are used only in masks, and are basically short, unchangeable pieces of text that you provide and want to have in your passwords

These building blocks have unique properties that let you customize each and every one of them. Together, they act to produce some very complex passwords / codes / usernames.

Options

Options in this case refer to the aspects of the program you can tweak that do not constitute the resources, or "building blocks" described above.

In addition to what is listed here, the program has a variety of options and customizable features. Some of these are listed below:

• Password Filters - customizable collections of passwords that the program should avoid generating (to ensure, for instance, that no weak and known common password is ever generated)
• Duplicate Elimination - this feature makes sure that all generated passwords are unique and have no duplicates
• Random Seed Control - controls the initial seed used by internal Random Number Generator

What You Can Do With Password Generator 2010

These are just a few things you can do with Password Generator 2010:

• Generate millions of very complex passwords of any length in seconds
• Control exactly which characters can appear, how often, and where using customizable logical groups - character groups
• Enhance password strength even further using character policies: allow/disallow consecutive character abc, allow/disallow consecutive keyboard characters qwerty, allow/disallow repeating characters aaa, allow/disallow duplicate characters AbA
• Control exactly how many certain characters you want to see in passwords, by specifying min and max values for character groups
• Use sequential elements in passwords PW01, PW02, PW03... using fully customizable sequences
• Exclude ambiguous characters 1, I, l, O, 0, o from password
• Include special characters ~, !, @, #, $, %, ^, &, *, (, ), ,, ., =, +, <, > in the password
• Generate strong, yet easy to remember pronounceable passwords
• Generate usernames along with passwords
• Export and integrate password lists into existing applications
• State of the art masking password generator with 6 built-in operators, like random length operator, gives you full control and allows you to generate even the most complex masking passwords!
• Make sure unsecure passwords such as 1234567, or qwerty will NOT appear in the password list by using Common Passwords Filter feature
• Generate passwords with words, i.e. abcLengtH147
• Generate serial numbers, pins, codes, and more using masks, i.e. 1AB38-GB7IU-L89R4
• Tweak letter case in words to create secure, yet easy-to-remember passwords and usernames, i.e. CoMpUtEr
• Export generated passwords and usernames to database / update database records
• E-mail new or updated passwords (or usernames) safely and save a lot of time using built-in wizard
• And much, much more!
