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).

New in version 2.8.0 - April 20th, 2016
- NEW FEATURES:
* Drag & drop support for the password boxes in the main window and in the "MP Password Generator" dialog, as well as for password lists: a drag & drop operation can be started by left-clicking on the password security bar below the password box and holding the mouse button; in the password list window, text can be directly dragged from the password list itself; the password(s) or a selection thereof) may be dropped to any application registered as a drop target; conversely, the password boxes can act as drop targets and receive text from other applications
* New option "Position Automatically" in the "Quick Help" window (available in the context menu of the text box): if activated, the window is positioned below the "Quick Help (?)" button whenever it is made visible (this used to be the default setting); otherwise, the window position will not be changed, and will be saved in the configuration .ini file
- CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS:
* Update check on start-up is executed in a separate thread (with low priority) rather than in the main thread to avoid latency times for the user
* New cube-shaped program icon, now also available in "extra large" size 256x256 pixels) activated "auto complete" feature in drop-down boxes in main window
- FIXES:
* In the "Create Trigram File" dialog, clicking on the Browse button ("...") next to the source file box opened a "Save as" dialog rather than an "Open file" dialog
* Fixed some issues concerning the "Always on Top" option
* "About" window was not sized correctly for higher DPI settings (>96 dpi)
* Profiles deleted by the user were not removed from .ini file if settings were saved during runtime (before exit)
* Fixed fatal error when user attempted to generate passwords with "Format password" checked but empty box
