AskWoody_MVPI do worry a bit about any password generator which starts with a dictionary-word keyword. Keying any security related item to something which can be guessed from a dictionary does not seem to me to be wise. Especially when other password generators do use entropy checks, audited open-source code and random alphanumeric generators.
For ease of use, this utility looks as good for the purpose as anything else I’ve seen. Sometimes it’s more important to create a product people will actually use than to get all the security details exactly right.
Free does not always mean open-source and code-audited, as mentioned in other posts here.

AskWoody LoungerI have experience with StickyPassword. At the end of the year, there was short period of time (2days I think), when this SW was completely free, so I downloaded it for free.

AskWoody PlusMmmmm, duck liver.
(I know, I know… we don’t eat it anymore)I use Keepass to generate random strings and store my passwords.
However, I often use random word generators to help me with generating passwords that I can memorize. There are several online, such as https://wordcounter.net/random-word-generator. I just browsed there and generated “digest dizzy prickly lettuce” which is relatively easy to remember. I can capitalize the words and add a number to satisfy most requirements: Digest4DizzyPricklyLettuce. And I understand that such a password may be susceptible to dictionary attacks. However, I often need a balance between “completely random” and convenience, and this is it for me.

You can remember that?!
cheers, Paul
Yeah, at my age, I’m lucky to remember my birthdate (come to think of it, maybe I don’t want to remember). My example’s not that great, but I did come up with it in less than a couple minutes, and it is easier to remember than “7FZPq9pXTSd” or “jEQS23SuBk9”!

AskWoody PlusAnd, by the way, Ashwin over at GHacks describes a free open-source Firefox/Chrome plugin that will automatically fill in logins/passwords from KeePass: https://www.ghacks.net/2020/01/08/kee-is-a-firefox-and-chrome-extension-that-can-auto-fill-passwords-from-keepass/
I don’t know that I’m ready to go that far for convenience (not to mention having to additionally trust browser+plugins), but I thought I would mention it.
