It's such a bad idea to use a random website to generate passwords, surely this has to be bait.

> Strong passwords, generated only on this device. Nothing is sent or stored.

And the only way to verify this is to read and understand 288 KB of obfuscated Javascript code every time you launch this app.

The app is hosted via github pages and is open source. Feel free the read the code. I built this so i don't have to visit other random pages. Just a tool for myself.

Don't publish such things or put it online. People might end up using it.

Even if the current state of the page is fine, this could, in theory, change anytime.

Shameless plug: I also built a pure client-side password generator but you can specify the constraints as regular expressions. UI is obviously vibe coded but the logic underneath is hand written.

This is nice

generating pwd from random website is already not a safe move...

That's why i build something for my own. I don't trust anyone else

Aside from the security and slop issues, I'm curious to hear the rationale for using TanStack Router for an application with a single page and no server endpoints.

Really nice work I especially like the UI!

Thank you. I build it to avoid visiting random website to generate password

Why not using a local password generator?
