Password generation
For any selected entry, clicking on the Generate button beneath the password field opens the password generation dialogue box. Here you can generate random passwords according to a number of rules.
Passwords in MacPass are generated by missing. (How do we ensure the cryptographic security of generated passwords?)
Displays the currently generated password. Clicking the rounded arrow on the right generates a new random password.
The slider and input field allow adjusting the length of the generated password.
This displays to be written.
Passwords are generated as random combinations of characters selected here. In addition to upper (A-Z) and lower (a-z) case letters, you can choose to include numbers (0-9) and a selection of symbols (#!?). In addition you can enter characters into the 'Custom' field that are included in the password randomly.
missing
Clicking this button stores the currently selected password generation rules as the defaults for the password generation dialogue box.
If this is checked, the password generation rules are stored as default only for this entry. This is useful for special policies or services, that require a frequent regeneration of passwords. Once an entry based default has been stored, it can be reset to the global default rules by holding the ALT key - this turns the 'Set Defaults' button into a 'Reset' button.
If you want to add TOTP in MacPass (v0.8.1+ only!) you can use the opt custom field or you can use the wizard in MacPass which you can access by opening it via the drop down besides the "add custom field" button.
The a wizard pops up and you can add you URL there
