ZWeb.PasswordsLive (Portico/Z v0.1.0)

EXPLO's password generator

Behind-the-scenes it uses Ola for generating random words. The password philosophy is basically XKCD's philosophy, plus some nice UI + conventions to deal with the fact that most websites insist that you use weird characters, have certain length limitations, etc.

Parameters

The following parameters are adjustable in the form, and can also be passed as URL parameters:

  • num_words - How many words should your password have?
  • max_length - How long/short should your password be?
  • join_with - Which character(s) should join the words of your password.
  • terminate_with - Which character(s) should be at the end of your password (typically this is where we stick required characters like numbers, special characters, etc.)
  • initial_cap ("true" or "false") - Whether to start the password with an uppercase character. Again, this is because password systems often require it.

For example, if you wanted to prompt somebody to generate a 4-word password, separated with dashes and ending in the number 99, you could link them to https://z.explo.org/pw?num_words=4&join_with=-&terminate_with=99
