PC Tools Online and Offline password generator

A highly secure, strong password is a must for keeping your account safe from hackers. Here is a free online tool from PC Tools that allows you to create highly secure random passwords. Because of an optional combination of lower and upper case letters, numbers and punctuation symbols they are highly secure and extremely difficult to crack or guess.

There is also an offline password generator that you can download free from PC Tools, which allows you to securely and easily create passwords locally on your own PC. You can check the quality and strength of a password. By entering your password in the checker it will run a series of tests on the password to indicate how strong it is, and therefore how easy it may be to guess or crack.

The associated Password Revealer reveals saved password that you have entered in web-forms but may have subsequently forgotten or lost. Works with Internet Explorer.
