Description

PWGen is a professional password generator capable of creating large amounts of cryptographically-secure passwords or passphrases consisting of words from word lists. It uses a "random pool" technique to generate random data based on user inputs (keystrokes, mouse handling) and volatile system parameters. PWGen provides lots of options to customize passwords to the users' various needs. Additionally, it offers strong text encryption and the creation of random data files (e.g., key files).

    A really nice password generator for windows. In active development, supports the most recent windows versions. Full featured, light in resources, with a nice GUI and very easy to use.

    Very useful - doesn't generate only passwords, but other related things such as randomly filled files.
