We have now released a native Microsoft Windows installer for the second release of our application Aconiac Password Generator, release 1.2.
It’s available at our website for download, alongside a cross-platform version for Mac, Linux, BSD etc. We are currently working on releasing a bunch of other native installers for Mac, Ubuntu Linux, Redhat/Fedora and more, however with clients needing to be serviced, it might be a few weeks before these will be finished. If you have experience packaging software for these systems and would like to help, please feel free to contact us.

The download page for Aconiac Password Generator can be found here

Aconiac Password Generator has, for some time, lacked a proper and easy way of installing the application. We have therefore now released a version with the Java Web Start technology. Java Web Start makes it easy to install the application on any system and even makes automatic updates of the application for the user – ultimately resulting in a more automated and easy process. Download the application by pressing the big green button on the product page.

If, for some reason, you do not want to use the Java Web Start version, it is of course still possible to download the application from SourceForge.net

Since our password generator has always been free and is fairly simple software, we have now decided to release the software as open source under the so called 3-clause BSD license.

This means that if you need a password generation feature for your software, you can actually take our code and use it directly in your code without paying us a dime. Just as long as you write publicly that you are using our code.

You can read more about the BSD license on Wikipedia

The code is stored on SourceForge.Net and there is a direct link to the project here on the website

Aconiac’s tool for generating random passwords has now been released and is free to download from the product page. We encourage everyone to download the tool and generate some secure passwords for the many user accounts an average user has these days.

Right now, the application is only available for Windows XP/Vista, however we expect to have a release for Linux, BSD and Mac within the next few weeks.
