Dracon Online Password Generator allows the creation of multiple random passwords of a chosen complexity. The combination of lower and upper case letters, numbers, punctuation and other special symbols makes the passwords highly secure and difficult to guess or crack using brute force techniques or dictionary attacks. Creating random passwords is surprisingly complicated for humans, so let this password generator do the job for you. For SSL connection click here.

   It is certainly not easy to remember such passwords, so if you prefer the possibility to recall your paswords you can always use our password encryptor - which by defining a specific password and a keyword combines the two into a highly secure password string you don't need to remember.

   Despite the name, there is no need for passwords to be actual words; indeed passwords which are not actual words are harder to guess, but they are generally harder for users to remember.

Guidelines for strong passwords

• Be seven or fourteen characters long, due to the way in which encryption works. For obvious reasons, fourteen characters are preferable.
• Contain both uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Contain numbers.
• Contain symbols, such as +-*@#%=?!_;.
• Not resemble any of your previous passwords.
• Not be your name, your friend's or family member's name, or your login.
• Not be a dictionary word or common name.

Password guessing

   Studies of production computer systems have for decades consistently shown that about 40% of all user-chosen passwords are readily guessed automatically, and still more with some individual research regarding a particular user.

   Password strength is the likelihood that a password cannot be guessed or discovered by an unauthorized person or computer.

   This script generates an encrypted password for use in a .htpasswd file to password protect webserver resources. Often used in combination with the Apache webserver to protect a directory or file from unauthorized access. The .htaccess file should contain a valid, full path to the location of the .htpasswd file..

   Htpasswd is used to create and update the flat-files used to store usernames and password for basic authentication of HTTP users. If htpasswd cannot access a file, such as not being able to write to the output file or not being able to read the file in order to update it, it returns an error status and makes no changes.

   Resources available from the Apache HTTP server can be restricted to just the users listed in the files created by htpasswd. This program can only manage usernames and passwords stored in a flat-file. It can encrypt and display password information for use in other types of data stores, though.

   Files managed by htpasswd may contain both types of passwords; some user records may have MD5-encrypted passwords while others in the same file may have passwords encrypted with crypt().

   Use the htpasswd generator to create passwords for htpasswd files. Just enter username and password and an entry for a htpasswd file is generated. This htpasswd generator creates passwords that are hashed using the crypt() algorithm, which means that you can use it for sites hosted on any platform, including Windows and Linux.
