Kids password generator
Make a password a child can type, such as GoldenPanda47!, and send it as a link that burns after one read.
How it works
Words, then numbers, then a symbol
Easy to read out and type
Two words give a describing word and a creature or thing, such as GoldenPanda47!. A third word says what it is doing: HappyElephantRunning23!. Four and five words add a second creature and another describing word, so the password still reads as a sentence. The symbols are ! $ # @ ? and *. A child can read it aloud, spell it and find every key.
Picked in your browser
When the page opens, it downloads the three word lists from this site. After that, Regenerate makes no request to our server. The picks come from your browser's own random number source, crypto.getRandomValues. When you create a link, the browser encrypts the password and sends us only the encrypted text.
How strong each setting is
Every password is longer than 12 characters and has capitals, lower case, numbers and a symbol, so it passes the usual complexity rules. A draw that comes out shorter, such as RedAnt12!, is thrown away. No number contains 69. Two words, two numbers and one symbol come to about 25 bits, which holds up only where the login locks after a few wrong tries. Three words give about 33 bits, four about 42 and five about 50. For an email account or anything an adult keeps, use four words or more, or take the passphrase generator.
Words chosen by hand
We wrote the three lists and read them for pairs that could come out rude or unkind. We left out words that are easy to misspell or have two spellings, such as grey and gray.
Sending it
The link, then the username somewhere else
Links from this page last a week and burn after one read, unless you change that. Send the link to the parent by email and the username another way, such as on paper. Then no single message holds both. You also get a receipt. It shows whether the password is still waiting, and you can burn it early from there.
