====================

PassGen - Generate cryptographically secure passwords

PassGen is a program used to generate cryptographically secure passwords. The program is written in C using the GTK4 toolkit. It was written and tested on a Fedora GNU/Linux system.

The program user may select any length of password from a minimum of eight characters to a maximum of thirty-six characters. The character set used to generate the password may contain upper and lower case letters, numbers, and/or visible symbols from the ASCII character set. The user may select letters, numbers, and symbols in any combination desired. Selecting all three result in the strongest passwords. The program user may substitute a custom symbol set for the full ASCII visible symbol set as required by many companies.

The strength of a password depends on the the generation of truly random and unbiased character selection process, the size of the character set the password characters are chosen from, and, the number of characters in the password. As a general rule, the longer the password is and the more characters to choose from, the harder it will be to break.
