Passwords and the password generator

Save, reveal, and copy passwords, and create strong ones with the built-in generator.

Store a password on any account, reveal or copy it when you need it, and generate strong new passwords without leaving Multifactor.

Add a password

  1. Open an account and click Add credential.

  2. Choose Password.

  3. Type or paste the password, or generate one (below), then save.

The password generator

Reveal and copy

On the account, a saved password is hidden by default.

  • Click the eye icon to reveal it.

  • Click the copy icon to copy it to your clipboard.

Generate a strong password

When adding or changing a password, open the generator to create a strong one:

  • Length — drag the slider to set how long the password is.

  • Character types — toggle letters, numbers, mixed case, and punctuation.

You can generate two ways:

  • Random — a one-off random password (the default).

  • Deterministic (MFDPG) — for accounts with a known website, Multifactor can derive the password from your account key, the site's domain, and a rotation counter. The same inputs always produce the same password, so you can regenerate it anywhere — even without opening your vault. To change it, increase the rotation counter to get the next password.

Tip: Deterministic generation is also available in the browser extension, so you can fill a freshly generated password straight into a sign-up form. See Generate passwords in the extension.
