Is there a site that offers a FREE password generator. Not one where you use it online, but one you can download?

Who the heck would pay for a password generator!?

My password generator of choice: pwgen (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pwgen/)

Password Generator is free, not sure what you're talking about. pwgen is fine but not everyone knows what to do with the source files or even how to compile.

It was freeware, it just takes you to the website that bought the company, Passgen is now a part of SecureSafe Pro, you can (and I did) Download it for free, unlimited uses! :D

I'm talking about the empasis for "FREE" in the first post of this thread.

not everyone knows what to do with the source files or even how to compile.

That's why we have binary distributions. ;-)
