The #1 password generator went down, so I built my own

    Looks like passwordsgenerator .net is back online at https://password-gen.com

    1. 1

      This site is also clone, but at least it's clear it is a new one, since it has only a subset of the original functionalities.

    2. 1

      Just a decoded clone, also looks like its missing some features of the original.

    1. 1

      Security expert here, the site is trying to make people believe it's the original one and is using a domain that's VERY similar to the original, which is a huge red flag from a security standpoint.

      1. 1

        no there is no security issue, because its generating only password with complex system, website not store any password, no need to login and respond system. i used this website almost 5 year ago, before of this domain website change this link in third time.

        1. 1

          The original website was owned by HNET and used a domain name registered in 2012, while this domain (again, suspiciously similar) was registered a few days ago.
          Also, you're spamming this link everywhere which is another big red flag.

    2. 1

      also just a clone, not decoded, and missing inline original comments and missing php back end functions.

      1. 1

        now i'm check, php function working,

    Hey, thank you for the alternative, really appreciate it. I used passwordsgenerator alot as well.

      Love it! Bookmark it my friend!

    I really like the UI, and I think a lot of people will find this useful. I'm a big fan of passwords that have the format word1-word2-word3-word4, e.g., clock-plant-gorilla-london. These are sometimes called memorable passwords. That could be an interesting feature.

    1. 1

      Love that, I will look into generating memorable passwords. Reminds me of a bitcoin wallet seedphrase.

    I used to use passwordsgenerator.net literally 10+ times a day and its outage has been brutal for me so I decided to just build my own.
