It's such a bad idea to use a random website to generate passwords, surely this has to be bait.

> Strong passwords, generated only on this device. Nothing is sent or stored.

> Private by design

And the only way to verify this is to read and understand 288 KB of obfuscated Javascript code every time you launch this app.

The app is hosted via github pages and is open source. Feel free the read the code. I built this so i don't have to visit other random pages. Just a tool for myself.

Shameless plug: I also built a pure client-side password generator but you can specify the constraints as regular expressions. UI is obviously vibe coded but the logic underneath is hand written.

generating pwd from random website is already not a safe move...

Aside from the security and slop issues, I'm curious to hear the rationale for using TanStack Router for an application with a single page and no server endpoints.
