Show HN: Privacy focused client side password generator
A developer launched a client-side password generator that runs entirely in the browser, requiring no server calls or data transmission.
A developer going by aaqaishtyaq on Hacker News launched a client-side password generator on August 19, 2026, posting it as a Show HN submission. The tool is available at password-generator.aaqa.dev and is designed to generate passwords without sending any data to a server.
The core premise, per the Hacker News listing, is privacy: all generation logic runs in the browser on the user's device. That client-side architecture means no credentials or generation parameters are transmitted over a network during normal use.
Beyond the privacy framing and the client-side approach, the Show HN post provides limited detail about the tool's specific feature set — such as supported character sets, password length options, or any underlying cryptographic primitives used for randomness. No company, team size, or funding is associated with the project; it appears to be an individual developer release.
Client-side password generators are a well-established category of browser-based utilities, with several open-source and hosted options already available. The distinguishing claim here is the explicit privacy focus, positioning the tool against generators that may log inputs or results server-side. The HN submission had one point and no comments at the time of publication, suggesting early-stage visibility.
No roadmap, expansion plans, or future feature announcements were included in the source material.
