🔑 PPG

This app was created to take the place of MacOS's Arcana, which will be lost to time in future versions of MacOS and to bring it to Windows.

Powerful Password Generator

Small password generator "utility" for Windows, Mac, & possibly Linux.

There might be some helpful information in the Wiki if we get around to making it.

Note

The passwords generated in PPG would take more than 15 hundred million years (according to HSIMP).

Your passwords will never be sent over the internet.

Updating PPG

First, uninstall PPG.

The uninstall .exe can be found here: C:\Program Files (x86)\PGG\unins000.exe.

Then download the newest version from the releases page.

Usage

Simply start the app. It automatically generates a password on startup. However, it does not copy to clipboard.

To copy to clipboard, simply click Copy. You should get a notification saying that it was copied.

"tray mode"

Right-click the tray icon, then hover over Password a click Generate new and copy. That will generate a new password (cannot be seen until pasted) and copy it to clipboard. It will also send a notification.

Building from source

There are a few files missing from the source code. If you are interested in building this app from the source code, please let me know and I'll give you the files.

  • dictionary.json: a dictionary file formatted as JSON
  • words.txt: a text file with 100,000+ words
  • style.css: TailwindCSS with a different file name

The reason these file are rmoved relates to their size. They're very big files. (also, I'm picky: GitHub said my repo was mostly CSS, when it's not. It was just the massive size of tailwind)
