Secure Password Generator by Nikolay Martynov

Rated 4 out of 5
by Dekel Tal, 8 years agoThis addon is one of the most useful I have installed. I love that it's quick and simple, and yet powerful.
Unfortunately, I think the latest change, where the password generation UI moved to a toolbar button (instead of the pop-up window) takes this add-on backward in terms of user-experience.
* The new button now unnecessarily takes up space on my toolbar. Moving it to the menu requires an additional click, plus causes the UI to be clipped so a horizontal scroll is required (which is bad user experience)
* For some reason the right-click functionality doesn't open the "Generate Password" UI. The only way I'm able to make it pop is by directly clicking the toolbar button, which takes away the locality of this function.
* The right-click menu now requires an additional level instead of quick selection
It just seems like these changes fix something that was not broken, while not providing any new functionality.

- Rated 2 out of 5by SedUz, 3 months agoVery bad at generating passwords. I configured 20 symbols and set special symbols minimum 5. I got 4-5 occurances of the same special symbol almost every time. This is not ok!
Also, not enough options for generating passwords like: characters to be unique or maximum possibility of the same characters. Not possible to resize dialog if I want more than 20 characters. Sometimes 20 character password occupies more than default field space, but sometimes not. This is because wrong font is used which has variable character width and its not possible to configure normal font.
It is not clear what mean options: both hands, left hand, right hand.
If developer decides to fix issues, then I can change review stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 18420504, 4 months ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Pinut, 5 months agoEs muy simple, pero funciona perfecto, lo unico que le arreglaría es la interfaz ya que es demasiado simple, pero es perfecto

- Rated 5 out of 5by Gree, 4 years agoCool generator. It would be even cooler if it supports different password variants like: https://xkpasswd.net/s/

- Rated 5 out of 5by blasphemousdreams, 5 years agoI've been using this for a couple of years now. It makes it much easier to come up with passwords. You can determine how many characters, and what type of characters.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15586822, 5 years agoNifty! Amongst the variables one can choose which characters to include AND which characters to exclude. This is robust little calculator, wish the rest of the world would pay attention to what Martynov has done.

- Rated 5 out of 5by mik3, 5 years agoLove it! But a "key" icon would be better than a padlock,
since passwords are more like "keys" than "locks". - Rated 1 out of 5by Tanmoy, 5 years agoI don't understand. So many people gave it 5 stars but when I installed it in the Firefox in my Moto g4 plus, it did nothing. 'Save settings' is not working, password is not generating. What happened?! Is it really broken or it does not work in mobile Firefox? If it doesn't work in mobile Firefox, then how it got installed?!
A reply from the developer will be much appreciated and I will give a higher rating only because of his reply and if he could guide me to make it work, I will change my rating to 5 stars. - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15271884, 5 years ago
