PWGen is a password generator capable of creating large amounts of cryptographically-secure passwords or passphrases consisting of words from a word list. It uses a "random pool" technique to generate random data based on user inputs (keystrokes, mouse handling) and volatile system parameters. PWGen provides lots of options to customize passwords to the usersТ various needs. Additionally, it offers strong text encryption and the creation of random data files (e.g., key files).

Notable Features
* Free and Open-Source software
* Unicode support
* Unobtrusive: easy to use, doesn't install any weird DLL files, doesn't write to the Windows registry, doesn't even write to your hard disk if you don't want it, can be uninstalled easily
* Uses up-to-date cryptography (AES, SHA-2) to generate random data for high-quality passwords
* Numerous password options for various purposes
* Generation of large amounts of passwords at once
* Generation of passphrases composed of words from a word list
* Pattern-based password generation (formatted passwords) provides nearly endless possibilities to customize passwords to the user's needs
* Secure text encryption
* Multilingual support
* Runs on all Windows versions (32-bit and 64-bit; beginning with Windows 95 OEM Service Release 2)

PWGen 2.3.0 released 2013-09-08
As of version 2.3.0-believe it or not-PWGen aims at providing full Unicode support! The transition to Unicode was certainly quite painful, because the entire source code had to be revised and partly even rewritten from scratch, but it was ultimately inevitable: ANSI (non-Unicode) appplications are a thing of the past nowadays. PWGen should be capable now of generating passwords containing all possible Unicode characters, and it can be translated in every Unicode-compatible language. Furthermore, I have implemented a feature which allows for generating phonetic (pronounceable) passwords such as "anceaturseve". This function is accessible by entering "" into the "Character set" field in the main window. The underlying algorithm is based upon trigram (3-letter) frequencies of the English language, but it is possible to create specific "trigram files" for other languages with Latin-derived alphabets (letters a..z). Note: The Translation Utility for PWGen has been updated, too.
