Personalized Password Generator

This project is a React Vite application that allows users to generate strong, memorable passwords based on personal inputs. The app provides 30 unique options for users to select from, where they can input memorable information that is not commonly used in security questions. The generated passwords are designed to be secure while still easy for the user to remember.

Purpose

The purpose of this project is to help users create passwords that are both strong and easy to remember by leveraging personal, yet obscure, information. Traditional passwords often rely on easily guessable information, such as favorite things or obvious dates, which can make them vulnerable to attacks. By allowing users to choose from a variety of unique and less common options, this password generator ensures that the passwords are difficult to guess while still being meaningful and memorable to the user.

Features

• Selection of 30 Unique Options: Users can select from a list of 30 different input types. These inputs are designed to be unique and memorable to the user but difficult for others to guess.

• Password Length Control:

  • An input field allows the user to specify the exact length of the password (between 8 and 50 characters).
  • A slider is also available for easy adjustment of the password length.

• Password Generation:

  • A Generate button creates the password based on the selected inputs.
  • A Regenerate button replaces the Generate button after the first use, allowing the user to generate a new password based on the same inputs.
  • A Clear button resets all inputs and selections.
  • A Copy button allows the user to easily copy the generated password to the clipboard.

• Password Explanation: After generating the password, the app provides an explanation of the different parts of the password based on the user's inputs.

• EleUmb might be derived from combining random syllables from three different words.
