password.cat

True entropy is really hard to come by these days. There are few ways more efficient than having a cat walk over a keyboard. So we built this app.

How does this work

When you click the generate button, a request gets sent to our feline-entropy specialist who connects a keyboard to a Docker-ready environment. Our cat is placed in close proximity to said keyboard, we capture the keystrokes, and send them back for a truly random password.

What this app does for you

We have a cat and some coding skills, so we made a server that uses our cat as an entropy device, and generates a cryptographically secure password for you.

We believe strong passwords are a necessity, so we are offering this application, and the infrastructure to host and feed our cat Melian, to you, for free.

You are welcome.

F.A.Q.

How do you pronounce your cat’s name?: Sindarin IPA: ['meljan]. It comes from the Lord of the Rings universe.
Do you store any of the generated passwords?: No. Even if I tried, my cat would bite me. So we don’t risk it.
Can this app generate the same password twice?: Yes. Studies have shown that a cat’s memory spans a couple of weeks. So if you are in said timeframe, you can rest assured that she’ll not generate the same password twice.
Is your cat biased towards certain letters?: Sadly, yes. We tested and with a σ² < 0.001, we can say that she preferred the letter f.
Is it safe to send passwords over the internet?: No. But we are encrypting the passwords before sending them through “the wire” with a PSK of catcatcat.
Why is this page also in Catalan?: Funny story. To have a .cat domain, as it is a sponsored domain, we need to highlight the Catalan language.

This is a joke

Feel free to use these passwords as your own, but they were not generated by those adorable paws.
