KeepassXC allows you to customize its password generator according to your preferences.


Love KeepassXC. Even if you don't want to go full offline, I think Bitwarden does the same.


Bitwarden's password generation is actually a little weak - it's great at generating random gibberish passwords, but it seems to be randomized at the character level so you'll get things like "Cq$ypWocG6Byp#" - hard to remember, hard to type. It lets you specify length, upper, lower, digits, (limited) special, minimum # of digits, minimum # of special, and "avoid ambiguous characters" but that's the extent of it. Even the ability to have it group character types would be helpful if you're ever going to be typing on mobile devices.

It also offers Passphrase generation using dictionary words plus digits and specials (as word separators). You can change the special character used, but it's not randomly chosen each time.

I'd love it if it had an option for pronounceable or syllable-based generation as described in the article.


I'm using Apple Safari passwords storage, it's enough for me, but KeePass is definitely great.
