Simple password checker & generator - passwordbotapp.com.
I wanted to make an online password generator, which would match those needs:
- Easy to use
- Minimalistic UI
- No tracking at all
- No ads
- Understandable generator function
The score calculation is based on my own preferences: a 16-chars password made of:
- 4 lowercase letters
- 4 uppercase letters
- 4 digits
- 4 special characters
Each character has the same weight.
It is a basic way to calculate the password strength, but for now there are no unquestioned way to do so - entropy calculation is one of the most discussed methods, but it is not reliable in all cases, as it does not take the user behavior into account.
The avoid similar characters option, when enabled, removes the following when generating a password:
l,Iand1(lowercase L, uppercase i and digit one)Oand0(uppercase o and digit zero)Sand5(uppercase s and digit five)
Checkout the project, then run:
$ npm installand:
$ npm run watchTo build the projet in dist/ when a change occurs.
