Generate secure random passwords from Alfred. Uses /dev/urandom as source of entropy.

Features

• Passwords can be generated based on strength or length.
• Offers multiple generators, including based on real words and pronounceable pseudo-words generated with Markov chains.
• Shows the strength of each generated password.
• More convenient that 1Password or the like.
• More dependable than online generators.
• Copies passwords as "concealed" data by default (so clipboard managers don't record them).
