Secure Password Generator Extension

Generate cryptographically secure random passwords with customizable options when creating new accounts or updating existing passwords, ensuring better protection against hacking attempts.

The password can be copied to the clipboard with a single click, or just press the a button and let the extension automatically fill in the password field(s).


Generate QR codes for text or authentication information given a issuer, label and secret value.

Example: A user wants to enable 2FA with an authentication app on their smartphone. They can generate a custom QR code using the base32 encoded secret key displayed on the website. This is helpful when the default QR code provided doesn't meet the user's preferences, and the authentication app does not allow its modification.
