A focused password generator, built to stay out of the way

PassGen exists to do one job well: create strong passwords quickly, with options that are easy to understand and a clear explanation of what happens to your information.

Many password utilities bundle vault features, account systems, and extras that most people never asked for. PassGen was started on the opposite idea: a generator that does exactly what its name says, without the clutter that makes simple tasks feel harder than they should be. The project began from a practical frustration with tools that asked for too much before producing a single password.

So the focus stayed narrow. Choose the length and character options you need, generate, and move on. Every decision in the interface is meant to reduce friction rather than add to it.

Development follows a short list of commitments that guide what gets built and what gets left out.
