About this app

With Privacy Friendly Password Generator you can generate different passwords for all your accounts while remembering only one master password. Detailed information about generating passwords can be found at the app's help page or at https://secuso.org/pfa. The app belongs to the Privacy Friendly Apps group developed by the research group SECUSO. More information can be found an https://secuso.org/pfa

In case you wish to generate a password for a user account, you can add this account to Privacy Friendly Password Generator. Therefore, you only have to enter which characters (lower-case letters, upper-case letters, numbers, special characters) you would like the password to consist of and how long it should be. The account are arranged in a list. To generate a password, click on the account and enter your master password. The master password is a password made up by you and it guides all other passwords. Like the other passwords it is not stored in the application. So if you wish you can write it down and keep it in a safe place. Finally, Privacy Friendly Password Generator displays the password which has been generated for you account. This password can be re-generated any time.

How does Privacy Friendly Password Generator differ from other similar apps?

1. No permissions Privacy Friendly Password Generator does not require any permissions. For comparison: The Top Ten of similar apps from the Google Play Store requires an average of 3,4 permissions (in November 2016). These are for instance the location permission or the permissions to access, modify or delete storage.

2. Protection of passwords Privacy Friendly Password Generator does not store any generated password, nor does it store the master password. For the generation of password a stateless algorithm is used. This means that the passwords only exist during the generation and are not stored in the program after the application has been closed. Additionally, the app prevents devices from taking screenshots.

3. No advertisement Moreover, Privacy Friendly Password Generator distinguishes from many other applications in the way that it completely relinquishes advertisements. Advertisement might track a user's actions. It could also shorten battery life or use mobile data.

How to install this safely

How to verify the file you downloaded

Before you install anything, confirm the file is the one described here. On a computer, run shasum -a 256 your-download.apk (macOS or Linux) or certutil -hashfile your-download.apk SHA256 (Windows), then compare the output character-for-character with the SHA-256 on this page. If a single character differs, the file is not the build we recorded — delete it.

What the signing certificate proves

Every Android app is signed with a private key that only its developer holds. The fingerprint on this page is a hash of the matching public certificate, and it proves continuity rather than identity: it tells you a build came from whoever signed the earlier ones. Android enforces this at install time — if a package claiming to be org.secuso.privacyfriendlypasswordgenerator is signed with a different key, the system will refuse to install it over your existing copy. A fingerprint that changes between releases is worth pausing on, because a repackaged app that has been modified by someone else cannot keep the original signature.

How to roll back to an earlier version

If the current release misbehaves, 1.3.0 is the last build before it. Android will not install an older version code over a newer one, so you must uninstall Password Generator (PFA) first — which clears its local data unless you have a backup. Reinstall the older APK only if its signing fingerprint matches the build you already trust, and check the API range: an older release may target an Android version your device has moved past.

Why we list sources instead of hosting everything

The official store channel is almost always the right choice: it updates automatically and carries the publisher's own distribution guarantees. A direct APK is useful when a device has no store access, when a rollout has not reached your region, or when you need a specific version — and only when the publisher has authorized that copy. APKBrowse does not list pirated, cracked, or unauthorized rebuilds of Password Generator (PFA), and a listing is removed when the evidence for it stops holding up.
