DNAcypher is a web password generator service that addresses the need for random passwords (and other random character strings) of specific lengths and constitutions. There are many password-generating utilities available, representing many different philosophies. DNAcypher's design goal is to produce the most secure passwords constrained by the limitations imposed by the systems in which the passwords are to be used.

Main web interface

DNAcypher allows you to choose the length of the password, the characters to include in the password and to exclude ambiguous characters from the password. It can also generate multiple passwords simultaneously

It allows generate random password from DNA sequence files. This practice makes possible to add a strong background noise, more difficult to crack than by random.

Examples

Abelson murine leukemia virus Seeds no similar characters
