If you want to use a password generator with Dashlane’s other services, including its password manager
            and VPN, prices start at $3 for an individual premium plan. Although there is no option for a passphrase
            with Dashlane, it is still a great way to generate strong passwords quickly, although there is currently no
            option for Linux users.




            Best password generator with password manager — Bitwarden

            If  you  want  a  free  password  generator  across  multiple  accounts,  then  Bitwarden’s  free  password
            management tool will store your passwords securely.

            Bitwarden’s password generator instantly generates strong passwords up to a massive 128 characters
            in length, so a password manager is definitely required! You can also choose to create a passphrase,
            but this only has one character as an option to separate the phrases.

            Furthermore, when you generate a password, Bitwarden displays an estimated time to crack feature,
            ranging from 10 seconds to centuries. Bitwarden offers a generous free plan to store as many passwords
            as you need for unlimited devices. The paid plan starts at just $10 for a year and gives you access to
            features such as security reports.

            Suppose you use multiple passwords across different platforms. In that case, Bitwarden is also available
            for Windows, Mac, and Linux, and you can install the web browser extension on your preferred browser,
            whether it's Chrome, Tor, or DuckDuckGo.



            Best password generator with antivirus — Norton

            Primarily,  Norton  focuses  on  anti-virus  software  to  protect  you  against  malware,  ransomware,  and
            hackers. As we know, a strong password will also help prevent these attacks, so if you use Norton anti-
            virus exclusively on your devices, you may wish to try the Norton password generator.

            Norton’s password generator is the usual slider that lets you select a password from 4  - 64 characters
            of a mixed case, numbers, and punctuation and categorizes the generated passwords from bad, weak,
            to strong.

            Norton’s password generator is less customizable than previous options, as there is no option to choose
            from a passphrase. Nevertheless, if you have a Norton account, you can easily implement their tool with
            their antivirus service and password management tool to protect your accounts.



            Best password generator for multiple platforms — Nordpass

            If you work on several devices and platforms and need to manage your passwords for your business,
            work, or studies, you may wish to consider using Nordpass.
