|
|
||
| How to use: | ||
| --------------- | ||
| Simply run the PassGen.exe file. | ||
|
|
||
| Upon loading you will be presented with a form that includes certain options such as characters to include, number of passwords, etc. | ||
|
|
||
| The default options for passwords are to include Uppercase characters, Lowercase characters, Numbers and Special characters. | ||
| For a total of 64 passwords, each 16 characters long. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| To generate a list of password(s), simply press "Generate." (Or press F5.) | ||
| You can generate a minimum of 1 password, and a maximum of 1,024. | ||
|
|
||
| If you wish to clear the list from prying eyes, press "Del." (Located next to the Ins key at the top of the keyboard.) | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Clicking the [?] next to "Include Special characters..." will bring up a form allowing you to choose what special characters you | ||
| want to include. | ||
| Deselecting all of them will disable special characters until you choose at least one character. | ||
| There is a button to include everything if you've deselected everything prior. | ||
|
|
||
| You can also access this from the menubar. (CTRL+I) | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Password length is limited from 8 to 64 characters. However, you can override this by selecting from the Menubar->Settings->Override. (Or pressing CTRL+O.) | ||
| This will bring up a form which allows you to increase password length to 128 characters, 256 or 512 characters. | ||
|
|
||
| There is also a drop down option for "Rand" characters, which will generate passwords of random length from 8 to <the maximum set>. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Also under the override form is an option to increase the randomness of the passwords generated if you do not feel the current randomness | ||
| is sufficient. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Another three options on the main form are "Automatically generate new password(s) (60s)" which is pretty self-explainatory, | ||
| "Avoid using the same characters in succession," which will prevent things like, for example, ABBA (in which B follows B) and, | ||
| "Include a random PIM from 1 to <N>." | ||
| If you're a user of VeraCrypt, you can include a random number (a PIM) after your password for use in file(s) or volumes(s). | ||
| This will appear as: <password> ------------ <N> | ||
|
|
||
| Note: If the pasword is less than 20 characters, and the PIM drop down is either set as 128 or 256, this will not appear. | ||
| This is due to the fact that the default PIM in VeraCrypt is 485 - unless sha512 or Whirlpool are selected, in which case it is 98. | ||
| For those who do use sha512/Whirlpool, there is an override option to drop the default PIM to 92. | ||
|
|
||
| If you wish to copy a password to the clipboard, simply select the password in the list and press "Copy." | ||
| If you wish to copy all the passwords, press "Select All," which will automatically select everything for you, then press copy. | ||
|
|
||
| Note: Windows 8.1 has an issue copying a large number of large passwords to the clipboard, an issue which didn't occur on Windows XP. (Or 98 SE!) | ||
| If this happens, you will be told that you failed to copy to the clipboard. The only fallback option I can suggest is copying a certain amount at | ||
| a time. | ||
|
|
||
| If you were successful in copying to the clipboard, the titlebar will change briefly. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| If you wish to save your settings for next time click the "Save Settings to Registry on Exit" option in the menubar (under Settings), then close the application. | ||
| To clear the settings, simply click the same option again. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Note: If this fails to work, open regedit, then delete the following key: HKCU\Software\Github\Jigsy1\PassGen\ | ||
