Password AssistantMay 23, 2006 - 3:43pm
davek asks: QuestionIs there a way to invoke the Password Assistant without starting the Accounts Preference Pane and clicking Change Password…? I want to be able to generate secure passwords for various accounts I create…. AnswerThe codepoet was gracious enough to throw down some mad Cocoa skills for us on this one. Head on over to codepoetry.net and pick up a copy of Password Assistant and generate passwords to your heart’s content. For those interested, the source is available on the product page under the MIT License. About JC |

Of course. Keychain Access, Accounts preferences, and one other place I’ve forgotten all offer this window, but if you want it to come up on demand, drop that little thing into the dock and hit it whenever. I’m working on adding a Service item so you could assign it a keyboard shortcut…
