I am putting some Tools up here. The first two are kind of a Pair…
More to come!
| PasswordClarity (opens in new tab) | PasswordGenerator (opens in new tab) |
A browser-based tool that color-codes every character in a password as you type — uppercase letters in green, lowercase in blue, digits in red, and symbols in violet. It was built to solve a specific frustration: telling apart ambiguous characters like I, l, and 1, or O and 0, especially when reading a password off a screen or typing one from memory. Alongside the color display it shows a live strength score, character type counts, and warnings for common patterns like keyboard sequences, repeated characters, and dictionary words. Everything runs locally — nothing is sent or saved anywhere. | A companion tool that generates strong passwords entirely in your browser using the Web Crypto API (crypto.getRandomValues()), so no server is ever involved. It offers two modes: Passphrase, which assembles memorable passwords from a curated word list mixed with numbers and symbols (think talon42!BRAVE*scout71), and Random, which produces a fully shuffled mix of character types at your chosen length. Ambiguous characters like 0, O, 1, and l are excluded so anything it generates can be typed or read without second-guessing. The output is shown with the same color-coding as Password Clarity, and the two tools link directly to each other. |
