I often create account (Jira, Subversion, FTP,...) so I need good password generator. For long time I used PC Tools Secure Password Generator web page with two presets and it worked. Except there was a lot of copy-pasting.
Lately I try to simplify my life so I had a "what if I could just..." moment and that instance the wapgUI was born.
It's a user interface for an ancient pronounceable password generator called APG, or in the case of Win32 port wapg.
Using AutoHotKey I can now press Win + S to start wapgUI which will display a list of 10 freshly generated passwords. I pick one (using enter or double click) and the password is copied on the clipboard for instant pasting where new password is needed.
Here is the AHK script I use for launching:
<#S::
SetTitleMatchMode, 2
IfWinExist, wapgUI
{
WinActivate
}
Else
{
Run, C:\Shared Folder\Tools\wapgUI\wapgUI.exe
WinWait, wapgUI
WinActivate
}
Return
The password strength, length and allowed characters parameters for wapg can be set in wapgUI.exe.file.
Includes wapg binaries by Adel I. Mirzazhanov and famfamfam silk icon.
