Password generator
Generate strong passwords and passphrases, tune character sets and length, generate usernames, and set defaults for new items.
PulsVault includes a configurable generator for strong passwords, passphrases, and usernames. It appears wherever you enter a password and as a standalone tool.
Generate a password#
- On any password field, click Generate.
- Adjust the length and toggle character sets: uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols.
- Optionally exclude ambiguous characters (like
l,1,O,0). - Click Use to insert it, or regenerate until you're happy.
Passwords vs. passphrases#
- Random password — maximum entropy for a given length; best when a site allows long, complex strings.
- Passphrase — several random words joined by a separator; easier to type or read aloud when you must.
Username generator#
Generate usernames too — random strings or email-style handles — handy when a service doesn't need your real address.
Set your defaults#
Set preferred length and character sets once under Generator settings so every new item starts from your standard.
The strength meter estimates entropy. Aim for "strong" — long random strings or 4+ word passphrases. Avoid reusing passwords across sites; the My security flags reuse and weak entries.
Passwords are generated locally using a cryptographically secure random source and are never sent anywhere until you save the item (encrypted).
