Password generator: 5 applications to protect your mobile

It's better to prevent than to cure. We must burn this motto to ourselves both for our personal health and for our relationship with the Internet. It is essential to have a good password that protects all our services. We are going to forget the usual: invent a password that has to do with us, with some personal information such as the date of birth, and we are going to create a password that combines letters, numbers and symbols. If you are one of the clueless, you can write down the passwords in a notes application and this, in turn, protect it on your Android system, as we saw in this link.

But if your thing is not inventiveness, or you are lazy to create a new password for all your services, do not worry because, of course, the Play Store application store is here to help you. In the Google app repository you have at your service a good number of applications that will help you in the task of creating a good password so that your services increase in security. You can even use this password to unlock your phone.

Create your own passwords with these free apps

Let's go with the first of the applications to generate passwords. This tool is free, does not contain ads and is only 2 MB in weight so you can download it whenever you want. Once installed, the home screen itself suggests a new password, which you can copy to the clipboard with a single click. You can configure the length of the password between 6 and 25 elements, and you can also ask the app if you want it to add lower and upper case letters, numbers and symbols. The application also tells you if the password that remains is secure or not.

This application is also free, without ads and has a very light weight of 1.68 MB. Its home screen is similar to that of the previous application but contains more functions. In 'Password Generator' we can create more than one password at the same time, marking the number in 'Passwords'. We can also choose the length, if the password supports repeated characters and, in addition, if we will use lowercase, uppercase, numbers and symbols.

Also, the application will tell you if the generated password is strong enough. In the app menu we have the option of dark mode and some useful tips to create our own passwords.

The third application on the list has a name, of course, quite predictable. Password generator is free, contains ads and weighs 2.2 MB. The main screen differs a bit from the previous applications. We have two visible options, 'Saved passwords' and 'New password'. We click on this second button to generate the password. On this screen, click on 'Generate' and 'Copy'. As in the other options, we have the option of choosing what elements we want in the password, as well as its length, which can be up to 16 characters. If we click on 'Save' we will be, of course, saving the password, to later be able to see it on the initial screen, 'Saved passwords' button.

Same name for different app. This new 'Password Generator' is free, has ads and a weight of 2.5 MB. One of the novelties that this application presents is that it will tell us if the password is stronger or weaker depending on the number of characters that we add to the password. For example, a password of between 5 and 7 characters will be weak and from 15 characters it is classified as 'very good'. This app also distinguishes between 'Symbols' and 'Special Characters'. To generate the password, click on the yellow bar at the bottom.

This new application has the novelty that it classifies itself as the 'number 1' of its kind. One of the best functions that we see in this new application is that we will be able to generate huge passwords of up to 50 characters. We just have to mark with the bar the number of elements of the key and click on 'Generate' and then 'Copy' to paste it into our application, social network or mobile. In the settings section (gear icon) we can ask the app to include numbers, special characters and, again, mark the length of the password.

Tips for creating a strong password

If despite all these options to generate a password you want to create one on your own, you should take into account some simple tips, such as:

• Do not use any personal data (phone number, address, ID) that can give you away, or that someone who knows you can use to access your personal information.
• For a password to be really strong it must contain at least 15 characters, and that these combine letters, numbers, symbols, uppercase and lowercase.
• Believe it or not, some of the most used passwords in the world are 123456, password or password, qwerty, 12345678, admin or login. Please be a little more creative with your passwords. That is why it is so useful that you use any of the applications that we have taught you previously and thus leave the dirty work to those who know.
• Never repeat a password on another site, don't recycle it and always change it from time to time. After all, the password is your lock to enter your services and, like it or not, we are all vulnerable to attacks.
