Generate passwords in the extension

Create strong passwords — random or deterministic — right where you sign up.

When you're creating an account on a website, the extension can generate a strong password and fill it straight into the form.

Generate and fill

  1. On a sign-up or change-password field, open the Multifactor password generator.

  2. Adjust the options to taste:

    • Length — drag the slider.

    • Character types — toggle letters, numbers, mixed case, and punctuation (open Advanced for the full set).

  3. Use the password — copy it, or fill it directly into the field.

The password generator

Random vs. deterministic

  • Random generates a fresh, one-off password.

  • Deterministic (MFDPG) derives the password from your account key, the site's domain, and a rotation counter, so the same inputs always reproduce the same password — you can regenerate it anywhere. To change it later, increase the rotation counter for the next one.

This is the same generator available in the web app — see Passwords and the password generator for more on how deterministic generation works.
