The Wolfram Password Generator Reference App is the perfect tool for producing new secure passwords and for analyzing your current passwords. Security experts have identified weak passwords as a prime vulnerability in corporate and personal security. Youll be able to generate better passwords for better security anywhere you go.

- Generate quick and secure passwords at the click of a button
- Create single or multiple passwords of any length
- Choose custom options including alphabetic, alphanumeric, pronounceable, or word-based passwords, and even generate four-digit PINs
- Apply specific rules to allow or disallow lowercase letters, special characters, and more
- Test a passwords strength and compute a score based on detailed criteria to help identify weaknesses
- Compute the time it would take to hack any password

The Wolfram Password Generator Reference App is powered by the Wolfram|Alpha computational knowledge engine and is created by Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica—the worlds leading software system for mathematical research and education.

The Wolfram Password Generator Reference App uses the http Wolfram|Alpha API and draws on the computational power of Wolfram|Alphas supercomputers over a 3G, 4G, or Wi-Fi connection.

Pros and cons of Wolfram Password Generator Reference App app for iPhone and iPad

Wolfram Password Generator Reference App app good for

I love this app. Use it for all new passwords and to change some old ones. It is true you cant just copy the password, but you can copy everything and then extract the password. A pain and hopefully something they will fix. Even so, a very useful app.
Since I havent test them all, I cant say its the best but it is certainly one of the best. Would be the total if it could only copy the passwords, not the "|" between them in mutiple passwords mode. Also, it could provide an export function to the Excel format or other formats.

Some bad moments

Useful app, yet there is no clipboard support to copy a generated password elsewhere. Seems like such a glaring omission, and renders the app less useful. I also find the blatant links to other Wolfram products quite distasteful. I did not pay for advertising.
Im so surprised this app doesnt have any reviews. Its a beautiful and informative app. I started using KyPass to manage passwords recently, but was annoyed to find that it had no password generator. Enter Wolfram. It will generate a password AND tell me how long itll take to crack it. Very cool. Great purchase.
not really practical to have a nice app (and this is a nice app - remembering its low cost) and not be able to save (if you can i cant find it) to a file or to print it... maybe i just dont know??? i do know you can save an image (one password at a time) and paste it to another apps document... also, they give you the same info at the wolfram site as what you see here... no real help??
The options for this app are great in so far as it generates strong passwords in almost any way you care to generate them, and does password analysis. A pity that it is almost impossible to use unless you are want to read the password off your iOS device and type it in by hand on another device. First - it requires a data connection because the passwords are actually generated on Wolfram Alpha, and you are at the mercy of their servers current work load. Second - there is no facility to save passwords. Third - Worst of all, you cannot select text. It only lets you copy the entire text of the page returned from WA, which always contains a lot more text than the password. Major Fail.
Yes this app does what it says on the box. However when you create a good strong password, theres no way to copy that and use it for say a website or where ever I might need a password/login. The only way is to copy all ten generated passwords pasteem as text into Evernote (or another text editor) and then select the one password you need copy-paste into whatever login. Or you could of course go old school pen and paper:-) I did try to reach support, but support is just to well hidden on their website.
I get that Wolfram wants to fit this into their normal setup with questions and generating detailed answers, but the end result is that this app requires Internet (not great for iPod touch) and you cant actually copy the password, which is the whole point of it. @eventualbuddha
