Password Randomizer 4.0 Extension

Simple extension to generate a random FIPS compliant password. Passwords are not store or retrievable. I wrote this extension for being able to quickly generate a strong password so every account login can be unique. Once generated save passwords using whatever method you prefer for storing passwords. Characters are not duplicated in passwords.

* 8 characters in length,
* ASCII digits,
* lowercase ASCII,
* uppercase ASCII,
* non-alphanumeric ASCII,
* non-ASCII, and
* random emoji and emoticon

Up through Version 1.6, there was no communication outside the extension. As of Version 1.7, only when requesting a QR Code of your password, the extension reaches out to our parent website (https://q4q.com) for creating the QR Code image that is displayed.

When using an inserted emoji, be sure you have the ability to enter an emoji with your keyboard.

Random phrases combine an adjective+noun+verb to create the phrase. Phrases can be quite humorous and easy to remember.

Version 1.0
* initial release

Version 1.1 and 1.2
