Password Generator
What You See
The Password Generator is accessible from the Tools tab (third tab in the navigation). It lets you create strong, random passwords.
The screen shows:
Generated Password:
- A large card displaying the generated password in a monospace font — the text is selectable so you can highlight and copy portions
Strength Indicator:
- A label showing the strength level: Weak, Moderate, Strong, or Very Strong
- A color-coded progress bar:
- Red = Weak
- Amber = Moderate
- Green = Strong / Very Strong
- A numeric score
Action Buttons:
- "Regenerate" — creates a new random password with the same settings
- "Copy" — copies the password to your clipboard
Options Section:
| Option | What It Does | Range/Default |
|---|---|---|
| Password Length | Slider to set how many characters | 8 to 64 characters |
| Uppercase Letters (A-Z) | Include capital letters | Toggle on/off |
| Lowercase Letters (a-z) | Include small letters | Toggle on/off |
| Numbers (0-9) | Include digits | Toggle on/off |
| Symbols (!@#$%^&*) | Include special characters | Toggle on/off |
| Avoid Ambiguous Characters | Excludes characters that look similar: i, l, 1, L, o, 0, O | Toggle on/off |
How to Generate a Password
- Go to the Tools tab
- Tap "Password Generator"
- A random password is already generated with default settings
- Adjust the length by dragging the slider — the password regenerates automatically
- Toggle character types on or off — the password regenerates automatically
- Tap "Regenerate" to get a different password with the same settings
- Tap "Copy" to copy the password to your clipboard — a confirmation message appears
Tips for Strong Passwords
- Use at least 16 characters for important accounts
- Enable all four character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols) for maximum strength
- Turn on "Avoid Ambiguous Characters" if you might need to type the password manually — this removes characters like
l,1,I,0,Othat are easy to confuse
Important Notes
- Passwords are generated using a cryptographically secure random generator — they are truly random and unpredictable
- At least one character type must be enabled — if you turn all off, a message appears asking you to select at least one
- You can also generate passwords directly inside the password editor when creating or editing a password entry (tap the sparkle icon next to the password field)
