Generator
Generate secure passwords, salt/WordPress/WLAN keys, APR1-MD5, BCrypt and Argon2 hashes, and TOTP codes — your starting point for the manual, examples, and tips.
One toolbox for passwords, keys, and codes
The Generator bundles the recurring chores of admin and developer life in one place: create a strong password, generate cryptographic keys for a config file, compute a password hash for a .htpasswd or an application, or set up two-factor authentication (2FA) via TOTP. Instead of opening five different pages for that, you click through seven tabs in a single interface.
It's built for administrators securing WordPress, server, or Wi-Fi access; for developers who need a quick BCrypt or Argon2 hash to test against; and for anyone who wants a genuinely random password or a TOTP code for their authenticator — no account, no install, right in the browser.
What the Generator produces
The interface is organized into seven tabs:
- Passwords — random passwords in four character-set tiers (from "lots of specials" down to "hex only"), plus an Apple-style option (pronounceable, memorable), up to 64 characters.
- Salt — cryptographic salt keys with an extended character set, length 16 to 1024.
- WordPress — the eight security keys for
wp-config.phpas ready-madedefine()lines, plus an Extreme Keys mode usinghash_hmac(), rotation, and dynamic server variables. - WLAN — WPA/WPA2-capable keys (20 to 63 characters), with or without specials.
- APR1-MD5 — a password plus its APR1-MD5 hash in
$apr1$format for Apache.htpasswdfiles. - Hashes — BCrypt, Argon2i, and Argon2id from your own (or a generated) password, with selectable cost factor and Argon2 memory.
- OTP — TOTP one-time codes per RFC 6238: Base32 secret,
otpauth://key URL, QR code, and a live ticker with previous/current/next.
Architecture: partly server-side, partly in the browser — and that matters
The Generator is deliberately split, and for privacy it pays to know the difference:
- Server-side (via a PHP API, returned over HTTPS) are the plain random values: the random passwords (except the Apple-style one), the salt keys, the WordPress keys, the WLAN keys, and the APR1-MD5 block. The server uses a cryptographically secure random generator (
random_int()/random_bytes()); responses are served withno-cacheheaders so nothing is cached. - Entirely in the browser (the value you enter never leaves your machine) are the most sensitive operations: the Apple-style password (via the Web Crypto API), the BCrypt/Argon2 hashes (computed locally via WebAssembly), and the whole TOTP generator (secret, codes, and QR code are produced locally).
In concrete terms: when you enter your own password in the Hashes tab and hash it, that password is not sent to the server — the computation happens entirely in your browser. The same goes for your TOTP secret. The server-side random values are fresh, unstored one-off values; if you want to be extra cautious, you can tweak them locally after copying.
