Product Description:

Make-A-Pass generates secure, random passwords. It has the following configuration options:
  • Password length (4 - 64 characters)
  • Include lowercase letters
  • Include uppercase letters

  • Include punctuation
  • Exclude similar characters (e.g., I and 1)

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed race condition in dragging of password length slider and resizing of widget that limited how fast the actions could be performed (thanks to Per von Zweigbergk!)
  • Changed password generation algorithm so it ensures all options appear in the first four characters
  • Changed random number generation algorithm so it retrieves its seed from /dev/random based on discussion at MacOSXHints.com

Make-A-Pass Troubleshooting ReportCompatibility with Leopard - Version: 2.4, 11/1/2007 07:44AM PST

Might be my machine but since I've installed Leopard Make-A-Pass doesn't seem to be working properly. I can no longer select any options. Tried re-installing but that didn't help. Anybody else who's having the same problem?

Lennert
P.S. Thanks for an excellent utility!

Make-A-Pass Commentaryvexing minor quirk - Version: 2.3, 12/25/2005 01:45PM PST

trademe1
firstly, let me say I LOVE this widget. I was using the OSX one before.
The only suggestion I have is wahn I reset my laptop, MaP defaults back to ClearPassword OnHide, which I always reset to Never.

Can I hack a config file somewhere?

Thanks
