Why Pwgen

Everything you need, running where you choose.

Get the full Pwgen experience with Easypanel handling the repetitive infrastructure work around it.

Password Generation

Configurable length (slider), uppercase letters, digits, special characters, and optional homoglyph exclusion (removes look-alike characters such as 0/O and 1/l).

Passphrase Generation

Word-count control, capitalisation toggle, separator choice (space, dash, number, special character, or user-defined), and optional inclusion of numbers or special characters between words.

Multiple Generation

Generate up to 5 passwords or passphrases simultaneously with the MULTI_GEN option so you can pick the one you prefer.

Browser Settings Persistence

Saves all generation preferences in a browser cookie so your settings are remembered between visits.

Progressive Web App

Installable as a PWA for an app-like experience on mobile and desktop without needing a native install.

No Account, No Cloud

Pwgen runs entirely in a single container with no external database or account required. Generated passwords never leave your server unless you choose to check them against haveibeenpwned.

How it works

From template to live app in three steps.

Easypanel turns the template into real services, storage, and domains on the server you already control.

Installation guide

Open your dashboard

Visit the URL or IP of your Easypanel installation and choose the target project.

Choose Pwgen

Open Templates, select Pwgen, then review its service names and configuration.

Deploy and open your app

Easypanel starts every service and provisions an HTTPS domain for you.

Installation options

The template asks for these values before creating your services.

Option	Default	Required
App Service Name	pwgen	Required
App Service Image	jocxfin/pwgen:v1.92.5	Required
Disable HaveIBeenPwned API Check When enabled, skips the online check against the haveibeenpwned database. Recommended for air-gapped networks or enhanced privacy.	true	Optional
Default Password Length	12	Optional
Include Uppercase Letters by Default	true	Optional
Include Digits by Default	true	Optional
Include Special Characters by Default	true	Optional
Enable Multiple Generation (up to 5 at once)	true	Optional

Before you deploy

Open the app at your domain. Configure your desired password or passphrase options using the toggles and sliders, then click Generate. Click "copy password" to copy the result to your clipboard. By default the app checks generated passwords against the haveibeenpwned API. Set NO_API_CHECK=true (the default in this template) to disable that check for air-gapped or privacy-sensitive deployments.
