An open source strong password generator program for steemians [repost]

In my previous post  https://steemit.com/programming/@royalmacro/a-free-open-source-data-encryption-program-for-steemit-users  I share a data encrypton tool with source code, now, today here I share another program, a strong password generator with source code. This program will generate strong, hard-to-guess passwords. I’ll do it by hashing together “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key”. If you use the same secure master key for every password generations then you do not need to write down or, memorize your generated passwords. When you need your password then repeat the same procedure to re-generate it. If your “domain name”, “login/user id” & “a secure master key” are not different then you will generate the same password. If you use only one secure master key then you have to only memorize your master key, not the passwords. Lets try it ! Step by Step Development : Open a new project in Visual Basic 8. Select “Standard EXE”. ...
