PasswordGenerator is a JavaFX application for generating random
text that may be used for passwords. It can also be used for more esoteric purposes
such as generating random permutations of digits.
Features
-
The characters of the generated text may be selected from five categories that cover
the printable characters of the ASCII character encoding. A category
may be marked as required; if so, it must contribute at least one character to
the generated text.
-
Characters may be explicitly included in and excluded from the generated text.
-
The length of the generated text may be a specified value or a random value between
specified lower and upper bounds, up to a maximum length of 1024 characters.
-
There is an option to require generated text to consist of unique characters (that is,
no character may appear more than once in the text).
-
Generated text can be easily copied to the system clipboard.
-
You can save a set of parameters — character categories and their
required flags; explicitly included and excluded characters; the unique
characters flag — as a named preset that may be selected from a menu.
-
The default implementation of the Java
SecureRandom
class is used as the pseudo-random number generator for generating random characters.
-
Programmers can extend the pool of characters from which the generated text is drawn
by the simple means of adding categories to the
CharCategory enumeration.
