Password Generator

I created something similar ~2 decades ago in perl. It would spit out a long list of passwords in text format so you could chose one without the server knowing what you chose.

Today, keepass does the job just fine.

Instead of a search space of 1 you augmented it to N which is likely <= 2^10. Still a pretty terrible idea to trust a password like that.

I agree, however, it ran on our own server so it was OK-ish.

That's a nice idea! I just created this password generator for fun like other utilities in java but I don't know just this one generated so many interest. You can see the source code using the button to the bottom right (the one that has 1's and 0's)
