Topic: password generator site (Read 315 times)
I am using lastpass to generate and store password for not so important sites, it is really convenient, but for security reason, I will never store passwords of important sites(money related).
I didn't recommend password generate site cause they store your password
Im pretty sure google chrome does this automatically no? I know whenever i create a new account chrome suggests a password but that might just be me.
I was doing some research about how to use strong password which can be easily remember and I find a site which was said to randomly generate strong password.
My question is, should i trust the password generate from this site?
Is it save from brute force?
Note : I'm going to use with an offline computer
I dont know if i posted this thread in the right section if not please let me know.
If you really do care about such things - isn't it easier to sort of generate your own random password?My question is, should i trust the password generate from this site?

I am totally fine with using online service like passwordgenerator net or whatever, so can't help with finding the service
This is a good site and I use it in order to get strong passwords and can be trusted because this site only gives us passwords and he does not know where we will put these words, whether in sites or emails
no because you can not see the source code of this website so you don't know what it is doing in the background. i would only trust open source software for security sensitive matters and only run them on an airgap computer (not just offline).
It's just a set of characters that almost nothing (and most likely nothing) can be tracked. After all, you don't even have to copy it to the clipboard to save it. You can also rewrite it by hand. The main thing is to get a ready-made set of characters for the password.

You should download a proper password manager like KeepassXC (Free and Open Source) and let that generate your passwords. Never trust online generators, or proprietary software for that matter.
How do you know such an online generator isn't saving it for some private database or giving it to some agency?
Imagine thinking that having a 3rd party generate and store your passwords is a good idea...
Guys, guys! If you need to generate random passwords just use your operating system's built-in tools.
From the Mac or Linux terminal:
From Windows Powershell:
And if you INSIST on doing it from a web browser, just copy-paste this into a text file and rename it random.html, but keep in mind your "Free VPN" or whatever browser extensions are probably sending all your passwords to China anyway.
From the Mac or Linux terminal:
Code:
LC_ALL=C tr -cd \!-~ < /dev/urandom | head -c 42
From Windows Powershell:
Code:
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Web")
[System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword(42, 0)
[System.Web.Security.Membership]::GeneratePassword(42, 0)

Code:
If you need password for website accounts I can recommend you LastPass. It's browser extension (available for Chrome, Firefox and Opera) that can generate and store your passwords. I've been using it for years and never had a problem.
Stores your password? Then I would never recommend it because we never know what is actually going behind maybe they keep log of your every passwords and can sell it on the darknet. 
Extensions are one of the main reason for people gets hacked so don't trust them anyways.

Do not use such services rather you should create your own passwords and keep a diary with all your passwords or store online in your email. This works well for me to be honest.

I would never trust a website like this one.
You don't know what is going on on the background and on top of that Passwords are very sensitive data - even if you insert a password by yourself you can see that hackers try to hack it - imagine what will happen with a password generated from a random site.
Yes my friend you can trust these sites as they only create a password but their words are awkward and difficult to remember so it is better to create a password based on yourself where you can put a password be. Its content is a sentence you know well or a difficult number but easy to remember
I wouldn't.If you rely on bob's reply, you'll understand why you shouldn't. Create a password that you only know and unique just like those generators do but it's not published there.
You should never ever use a website (doesn't matter whether online of offline) to create a password for you.
This, honestly, ranks as the best advice on this issue for me. Sometimes I wonder if it's lethargy or indifference that makes those who use it do it. I believe it exposes the user to a level of vulnerability.You got a few options to securely generate a password:
Yes, just make it as long as you want to provided you're also going to copy it out on paper. Well, I think every password on any site should be copied out. Don't trust your brain to always remember. 🤔[/list] - Use some pseudorandom characters you type yourself
I would get an offline password generator. Even so, is it really that hard to generate a good password by yourself? Just post a bunch of letters and numbers, so long as it's long enough you should be fine.
For example: 239hwo32#87rioe3krrpefqap
Or use a trusted open source password manager.

I donot trust or use any third party password generator or storing apps or softwares. Even if i need to do so i do it with my google account because it syncs automatically giving me access from anywhere and anytime. My question is, should i trust the password generate from this site?

You got a few options to securely generate a password:
And as i have mentioned in this post, length beats complexity. Rather choose a password which is a few chars longer, than a shorter one with a larger set of chars.

If the random password generator is offline, there is nothing bad to use it
This is not accurate. It is only completely safe to use an offline password generator if it is open source, you have reviewed the code yourself, and you have compiled it yourself.A malicious password generator could give you one of a number of pre-generated paawords, which an attacker also has stored on their own device, giving them a very short list to brute force from.
Don't use a password generator website. Thousands of Bitcoins have been stolen this way. Even if you use if offline, it is HIGHLY LIKELY to give you intentionally or unintentionally predictable output.
If the random password generator is offline, there is nothing bad to use it, but I consider it stressful than to randomly input different characters on my keyboard, but that does not mean it is not safe, nothing connected it online, but use the recommended ones. If connected online, then it is not advisable because we do not know what is running underground to steal the password online in the process of creating it.

Don't use a super-strong random password without a physically secured, but weakish-password, backup wallet. Thousands of Bitcoins have been lost this way. You are HIGHLY LIKELY to forget any password that's strong enough to not be brute-forced.
DO focus on the basics of "security" = "something you have" + "something you know". Assume that, tonight, Russian hackers will whack you on the head, give you password amnesia, steal your airgapped computer, start grinding it with a supercomputer, and burn your house down with everything in it to hide the evidence.

Is it save from brute force?
it depends on what length of password you choose and what you use it for. sometimes passwords aren't used as they are given, it could be fed into a KDF and a new password is derived with a salt and then used which would increase the difficulty of brute force by a lot. eg. BIP-38. 
I'd recommend this: https://youtu.be/Pe_3cFuSw1E
Or I'd go to somewhere like
https://iancoleman.io/bip39/ or look at the bip39 wordlist and make a 6-9 word seed.
A 6 word seed is of complexity O(73,786,976,294,838,206,464) to be cracked afaik.
