About the Password Generator
We have designed this password generator to meet the needs of our users and most sites' complexity criteria as the password:
- Contains at least 1 numeric character
- Contains at least 1 UPPER case letter character
- Contains at least 1 lower case letter character
- Contains at least 1 special character
- Has a length of 14 characters
The password pattern was developed specifically to ensure password strength, but also to ensure clear use and the avoidance of common password issues:
- The password is broken up into 3 easily communicated 4 character values, separated by hyphens
- The international airline alphabet codes (also known as the NATO alphabet) are provided to ensure that the oral communication of the password is clear
- The use of visually similar characters are not used to avoid confusion - i.e. no use of 1, l, i, j, I, L, 0, O, o, q, g
- The password is easily double-clicked upon to enable full selection of the entire password for current and future copy & pasting, without extra leading or trailing characters
We hope that you find this tool useful. Of course, we offer it for free - we just ask that you pay it forward and help those around you.
