One neat thing about Strongbox is that it comes with a built-in Diceware client!įAQ: What are some good use cases for Diceware? If you want the absolute highest levels of password security, consider using Strongbox. That said, there's no reason that Diceware cannot be used concurrently with a password manager.īut I also happen to like passwords I can remember. 1Password is an excellent product and I highly recommend it.

And on iOS, it is possible to generate an automation with Shortcuts app, meaning I can generate a password in any app that has share sheet support. On the Mac, with the menu bar item in PSWD, it takes only one click. I had to add them to any password I created manually, so I took the opportunity to delve into Swift and write a simple utility for myself, which I then decided to share with likeminded people.Īlso, I sometimes just want to generate a password immediately using my own preset without logging into a password manager app or open Keychain Access and clicking my way through menus. Every now and then, you’ll need to enter one of those passwords by hand, and those separators will be a life saver. The first reason I wrote PSWD is simple, but interestingly no password generator or password manager app I used, had that feature: the ability to add separators to the password! In this age, you can use password manager apps for almost everything and you can create very long passwords. And if you were using Password Assistant inside Keychain Access on macOS, or the password generator from any password manager app to generate passwords, you’ll see that it is much easier -yet with very granular controls- to use PSWD instead. Also, PSWD is nearly 50 times faster than RPG as it was written using a modern programming language and better optimized functions. I used that app from 2006 to 2019 extensively, but it looks to be abandoned and will not work with future versions of macOS. The app was inspired by RPG written by David Kreindler. It is written using Swift programming language. It can generate strong random passwords with very granular settings. PSWD – Password Generator is the most comprehensive free password generator for iOS 13 or later and macOS 10.10 or later.
