Very simple Python3-based GUI application to generate secure and random passwords. **Features** The main purpose of this application is to generate random and strong passwords. It lets an user choose: 1. Whether to include lowercase, uppercase, digit or punctuation individually or all of them. 2. Minimum number of each cases to be included in a password. 3. Whether to exclude some characters for each cases individually while generating a password. 4. By default, the generated password is hidden with `*` characters in the generated field to avoid shoulder-surfers. The user has the choice to view it using `Show/Hide` button. 5. Show password strength and comments on generated password to help users create strong passwords. **N.B.: This application does not save the generated password. So make sure you save it somewhere safe like using Firefox Lockwise.** ### Package name * simple-pwgen --- ### License * GPL-3.0-or-later --- ### Last updated * 28 February 2024 - latest/stable * 21 May 2025 - latest/candidate --- ### Websites * [hsbasu.github.io](https://hsbasu.github.io/simple-pwgen "https://hsbasu.github.io/simple-pwgen") --- ### Contact * [hsb10@iitbbs.ac.in](mailto:hsb10@iitbbs.ac.in "mailto:hsb10@iitbbs.ac.in") --- ### Donations * [liberapay.com](https://liberapay.com/hsbasu "https://liberapay.com/hsbasu") * [ko-fi.com](https://ko-fi.com/hsbasu "https://ko-fi.com/hsbasu") --- ### Source code * [github.com/mamolinux/simple-pwgen](https://github.com/mamolinux/simple-pwgen "https://github.com/mamolinux/simple-pwgen") --- ### Report a bug * [github.com/mamolinux/simple-pwgen/issues](https://github.com/mamolinux/simple-pwgen/issues "https://github.com/mamolinux/simple-pwgen/issues") --- ##### Report a Snap Store violation * [Report this Snap](https://snapcraft.io/install/simple-pwgen/arch#report-snap-modal) --- ## Enable snaps on Arch Linux and install Simple Password Generator Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd On Arch Linux, snap can be installed from the [Arch User Repository (AUR).](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/snapd/) The [manual build process](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Installing_packages) is the Arch-supported install method for AUR packages, and you’ll need the [prerequisites](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Arch_User_Repository#Prerequisites) installed before you can install any AUR package. You can then install snap with the following: ``` git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/snapd.git cd snapd makepkg -si ``` Once installed, the *systemd* unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket ``` If [AppArmor](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/AppArmor) is enabled in your system, enable the service which loads AppArmor profiles for snaps: ``` sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor.service ``` To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`: ``` sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap ``` Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly. ### Install Simple Password Generator To install Simple Password Generator, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install simple-pwgen ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
