Password Generator 1.2.3.0
When it comes to online accounts to various services or other type of login credentials it is always a good idea to use strong passwords in order to make sure your info is less exposed to break-in attempts.
Password Generator is a specialized tool with a name that says it all about its capabilities and you will surely be glad to know that it is able to create passcodes up to 50 characters in length, with symbols of your own choosing.
Straightforward and unappealing GUI
The uncomplicated and simple interface of this application lacks any visual appeal. Instead, the intuitive layout provides quick access to all the modules of the app, so that you will not lose a moment trying to get to the desired section or obtain the expected result.
Even if the graphics inside Password Generator are rather basic, the navigation through the menus and various sections of the application remains fairly fluent and without delays or other glitches.
A neat customization you can apply to the live tile that you pin to the Start screen is related to the background color, which can be blue or transparent, depending on the choice you make from the "Settings" area.
Create and manage password on the fly
The actual process of generating a passcode is as simple as it can possibly be since it only requires a single tap on the dedicated button shown inside the main screen of the application.
The main menu of Password Generator that is hosted in the lower side of the screen accommodates all the necessary functions for taking care of the generated content.
Thus, you can copy the freshly created password to the system clipboard with one tap or you can have it deleted from the memory and erased from the main view just as easily.
Configure password generation options
The application puts at your fingertips a wide variety of settings you can activate or disable with one press in order to make the passcode generation operation fit your exact needs.
The minimum number of characters is 4 and the maximum 50, while the type of characters used can include lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers and some symbols.
The list of special characters can be modified on the go, but you should note that not all the symbols you can input using your phone's virtual keyboard are supported, so the customization possibilities are a bit limited in this respect.
