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.
