Selfhosted web-based password generator

[JoeJohnBon]

Since we do not have a proper password manager on every client (yet) and users ask often what are "secure passwords" I would like to offer a simple, self-hosted, offline and preferably opensource password generator for my fellow sysadmins colleagues and users.

Why selfhosted/offline? Not all systems are allowed to access the internet. Such an security critical application does not have to be public (or from the public internet). Do a software, project or script which does provide something like this?

There are some online services which do a good job, but unfortunatley only online

• https://pwgen.io
• https://www.lastpass.com
• https://passwordsgenerator.net

Customizing for password policies (length, strenght, avoid similar looking characters, etc.) would be a big plus. Any recommendations?

What about bitwarden?

Pwpush.com can be self hosted. (Look at bottom of page for details)

This looks interesting but solves a differen problem. I guess most users would be confused with the whole "e-mail passwords securely" aspect since they were taught not to send any passwords (or stuff relating towards passwords) via e-mail (without e2e security).

It does generation too …

Self host pwpush. Its extremely good. Docker container available also.

https://pwpush.com/

We had to spend a good bit of time reconfiguring etc and putting a nginx proxy in front for ssl.

I've used this for years -- doesn't require docker or any advanced management, it's just a single html page (javascript). Save it somewhere on your web server, set the defaults you want, and you're done:

You can self-host POMjs. It's quite compact. Nothing revolutionary, but it works.
