Secure Password Generator for Firefox

Looking for a secure way to generate solid passwords on the fly? Try the SecurePassword Generator Firefox add-on. 

Once installed you can find the program on Firefox’s Tools menu. When run a new window will appear:

Here you can simply click "Create" to receive a six-character complex password. Here you can choose to make passwords that can be typed with just the left or right hands or both hands. (Assuming you’re a touch-typist.) You can also check the "Make mnemonic" option which will give you a password solely made up of letters.

The Characters tab allows you to control the complexity of your password. Here you can change the length of the password, tell it to include/not include letters, numbers, other characters (punctuation), and tell it to exclude certain characters. You can also adjust the sliders for letters, numbers, and others to control how many of each you’ll receive.

When you do finally want a password, just click the "Create" button on the Create tab and your password will be generated in an animated way. (You’ll just have to see it as I just can’t figure out how to explain it.)

Lastly, use the "Copy to Clipboard" button so you don’t have to retype it.

This is an ass-on I’ll personally be using in the future and showing off in my security workshop.
