(ID: ) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/05/2019 Excellent idea. To top off the UX on this extension, I'd suggest adding a "copied" response of some kind, followed by an automatic closing of the popup window.

Petja Touru (ID: 00000002e6393cb2) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 02/15/2019 Simple and does what is says. Howeve I would consider of having full range on alphabets on the generated string, this way: chars = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz' Array.from(window.crypto.getRandomValues(new Uint32Array(12))).map(x => charsx % chars.length).join('')
