Introduction

This is the JavaScript port of pwgen, Copyright (C) 2003-2006 KATO Kazuyoshi <kzys@8-p.info>. Originally it was available at http://8-p.info/pwgen/ - see here. I updated it to support special characters and to create the matching UNIX crypt-style hash for easy copy&paste. This page creates a set of 3 random passwords.

Passwords

First row shows the random password in clear text, the second row the equivalent string in UNIX crypt format, and the third row shows the password string as a MD5 hash, encoded in Base64.
