Password Generation and Password Profiles

Discover how Pleasant Password Server will enhance KeePass for business

(Web Client)

The Pleasant Password Server web client provides the capability to create password profiles and auto-generate Strong Passwords based on select criteria.

Paired with the convenience of storing your passwords, so you don't have to remember them, you can now have incredibly secure passwords with very little effort. 

Both the web client and the KeePass for Pleasant client provide password generation. For the desktop client: see KeePass Password Generation (external link).

Password Profiles:

  • are useful for generating many passwords with the same criteria (length, lower case, numbers, etc.).

Password Generator: 

  • is useful for the one-time creation of a secure password.

Supported Criteria:

Pleasant Password Server supports the following criteria for password generation:

  • Length - this value will dictate the exact number of characters used in the password
  • Upper Case - will cause the generated password to include at least 1 Upper Case alphabetic character (A - Z)
  • Lower Case - will cause the generated password to include at least 1 Lower Case alphabetic character (a - z)
  • Numbers (Digits) - will cause the generated password to include at least 1 number (0 - 9)
  • Symbols - will cause the generated password to include at least one symbol (`~!@#$%^&*()-_=+[]{}\|;:' ",<)

Password Profiles

The Password Profiles allow the generation of multiple passwords using the same Criteria, and provide the capability to re-use specific password criteria.

Creating a Password Profile: The Password Profiles can be managed from:

  • The main Navigation menu -> "Password Profiles".

Add a new Password Profile by clicking "Add new record". Name the Profile and set the desired criteria.

These profiles can be edited and deleted as needed.

Editing a Password Profile: does not affect existing passwords, only future passwords generated using the profile.
