Password generator applet

tiuxo

An applet for generating passwords would be quite useful. I often used a "generate password 32" query to generate temporary passwords on DDG.

In addition to this an option to generate "memorable" passwords would be nice (see xkcd 936)

LKD70 How would this be triggered (and discovered by users?)

Vlad You could add a toggle/segmented control element to switch between Random and Memorable.

Apologies for not seeing your response sooner Vlad

There's three viable approaches. Once they've searched for "generate a password" or any such trigger phrase, the "password generator" widget shows... In which there's either a dropdown similar to how 1Password does it

Or a "toggle" (checkbox with some styling) which toggles between "normal" and "readable" or something along those lines

Lastly would be my favorite approach - Styled radios.

Here's some examples to how others have done this:

LKD70 I like the one from 1password, we will take it as reference.

I already attempted this several times when using Kagi without luck, since I'm so used to it coming from DDG. I wish this was a feature!
