AldeaCode Password Generator vs Proton Pass Generator
Both tools generate strong passwords in your browser. The split is whether you want a password manager around it, or a single-purpose page that does one job and gets out of the way.

Where AldeaCode wins
Single-purpose, no upsell
AldeaCode Password Generator is a page that generates a password. There is no banner suggesting you install our manager, no modal asking for your email, no comparison chart of free versus paid tiers. Open, configure length and character set, copy, close. Proton Pass is a great product, but its generator page is also a marketing page for the manager. If you do not want that pull, ours is quieter.
Live entropy display in bits
We show actual bits of entropy as you tweak length and character classes, not just a green or red bar. A 16-char alphanumeric password gets you 95 bits, a 16-char with symbols gets 105 bits, a 24-char with everything gets 157. Knowing the number lets you make an informed call rather than trusting a vague indicator. It also doubles as a quick education on why length matters more than complexity.
Pronounceable mode that is still strong
Sometimes you have to read a password to a colleague over the phone, or type it on a console where copy-paste does not work. Pronounceable mode generates syllable-based passwords that are still high-entropy because the alphabet of allowed syllables is large enough. It is not a substitute for a long random string, but for the read-aloud case it is the right tool.
Privacy by being static
There is no account, no cookie, no localStorage write of generated passwords, no analytics that ship the configuration. The page is a static asset and the JavaScript runs in your tab. Proton Pass is also strong on privacy, but the generator page itself loads more product surface than ours, including the chrome that promotes the manager.
Where Proton Pass wins
If you already use Proton Pass, just use their generator. The password lives inside the manager, syncs to your phone, fills on the next login automatically, and rotates without you copying anything. That workflow ends where ours starts: AldeaCode generates, you paste somewhere yourself. Proton has the brand, the cross-device sync, the autofill, the breach monitoring. For a serious daily password workflow, that is the right shape.
When to pick which
Pick AldeaCode if
- You want a one-off strong password and do not want a manager around it.
- You want to see entropy in bits, not a coloured bar.
- You need a pronounceable password to read aloud or type by hand.
- You do not want any product upsell on the page.
Pick Proton Pass Password Generator if
- You already use Proton Pass and want autofill and sync.
- You want breach monitoring tied to the password.
The verdict
If you live in Proton, use Proton Pass. If you want a quick strong password without an ecosystem around it, with entropy in bits and a pronounceable mode, open AldeaCode Password Generator and you are done in a click.
Open Strong Password Generator →Frequently asked questions
Is AldeaCode Password Generator suitable for production passwords?
Yes, the random source is the browser's crypto.getRandomValues, which is cryptographically secure on every modern browser. Use 16 chars or more with a mixed character set and you are well above the entropy needed for production credentials.
Can I save passwords in AldeaCode?
No, deliberately. We are a generator, not a manager. The generated password is not stored anywhere on our side. If you need persistence, copy it into a manager such as Proton Pass, 1Password or Bitwarden.
Why show entropy in bits instead of just strength?
Bits of entropy is the actual cryptographic measure. A strength bar is an opinion. We show both, but the bits number lets you compare two configurations objectively and pick the one that hits your threshold (most teams want 80 to 100 bits for human passwords, more for service accounts).
