Password Tech (formerly PWGen) provides a variety of security tools including a strong random password and data file generator, master password tool, and a text encryption tool.
- Random number generator – the program can create lists of random characters or pass-phrases from word lists and uses mouse/keyboard activity to gather more entropy. The program includes lots of features to make these passwords easy and conform to any security standard.
- Master password – lets you create strong passwords using two words, usually a single password with it’s destination, creating strong passwords for every site (“email” is unique from “network”). It’s an easy way to avoid writing down your passwords but always having them available.
- Text encryption – draws from any application that supports a text copy/paste to encode (using the cliboard).
For both encryption and password generation, the program uses an open, standard algorithm (AES 256).
