In general, password generation websites cannot be trusted. Here's
why:
- Do websites record which IP address received which password
at what time? Could that information be disclosed to others or
subpoenaed?
- In most cases, the public cannot view the website's password generation source
code. Exactly how are the passwords produced?
- Do websites seed RNGs with time or other known weak data (making
passwords easily predictable and repeatable)?
- External sources of randomness could be manipulated without
your knowledge.
- Do websites use plain-text HTTP to display passwords to
users?
- Do websites use weak or homemade RNGs?
