GenPW 0.3.0

Free and easy to use password generator
GenPW is an open source, small and simple password generator. GenPW provides some additional functionality like, Characterset Probabilities and Password Patterns.

Another feature of GenPW is that it is able to use password patterns to generate passwords with a userspecified characterset layout. Please note this can lead to a security weakness if an attacker knows the pattern.

In general this is a good way to tighten up user passwords which are probably easy to break by dictionary attacks, by appending a random part including special characters and numbers.

GenPW is a program able to generate random numbers and print them to stdout. This should prove very useful to randomize password patterns, probabilities or the length of passwords generated by GenPW.
