Looking for Password Generator

INSTALL is the norm for Windows -- apps can't even find their' config files without the registry :sigh:

You'll need some kind of "scripting tool" that runs in the console window and just ECHOs the result for subsequent copy/pase

 

That is what the devs want us to think. I know differently. I've seen many stand alone programs create their own config file in the same folder as the exe, if it didn't previously exist. Programs much more sophisticated than a simple number generator. Speaking of which why would a number generator need a configuration file anyhow?

Maybe I should take to scripting as you suggest and code my own. I can do so in both Command-Line and Excel. The parameters needed can be hard coded with option boxes/menus. No need for config files.

 

Of course you are correct -- someone who knows what they are doing can avoid "the norms" and MAKE code do as desired.

 

The version I downloaded was v7.0. I just came across an older version 1.5 that is a standalone edition.

Wi-Fi Password Key Generator Portable 1.5 for Windows​

I would post a link, but I don't trust the source. If anyone finds a newer version of the portable edition, please share. I'm still open to other options as well.

 

You may try Norton pass generator.

 

I'm not finding a standalone version for Norton.

 

Why installation is so strange for you? Everything you download needs installation - it's a normal way of being. If you don't want to install any application then use online one.

 

Not strange, insecure would be the better word. Much like trusting in password managers. Why would I trust anyone with my passwords? Installation integrates the application into the OS, therefor creating doors for leaks.

In the end I programed a generator in Excel. At least Excel is not specific to nor is it associated with creating passwords. So no one would think to monitor Excel usage. All it takes is one malware/spyware to monitor known password generators. I don't know how insecurely they are programmed, so I will simply refuse to take the risk.

 

If you think so then it's the only way out. But I don't really think that installing some generator on your machine means that your passwords will be stolen. It's a generator, not a key keeper.

 

Why take a possible unexpected chance? Or, better safe than sorry
