PassGen – Password Generator Extension  ·  Last updated: September 2026

No data collected

Overview

PassGen is a browser extension that generates secure passwords locally on your device. We are committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how the extension handles your data.

Data We Do NOT Collect

• We do not collect, transmit, or store any personal information.
• We do not collect generated passwords.
• We do not track your browsing activity.
• We do not use analytics, telemetry, or crash reporting.
• We do not communicate with any external server.

Local Storage

The extension stores the following data only on your device using the browser's built-in storage API:

• Settings – password length, character type preferences, excluded characters, language preference. Stored via chrome.storage.sync and may be synced across your own devices if you are signed in to your browser.
• Password History – the last 5 generated passwords. Stored via chrome.storage.local and never leaves your device.

Password Generation

All passwords are generated using the browser's built-in crypto.getRandomValues() API, which provides cryptographically secure random numbers. Password generation happens entirely on your device — no passwords are ever sent anywhere.

Permissions

• contextMenus – to add the "Generate Password" option to the right-click menu on password fields.
• activeTab / scripting – to fill the password into the active form field and show the confirmation notification.
• storage – to save your preferences locally.
• clipboardWrite – to copy the generated password to your clipboard.

Third Parties

PassGen does not share any data with third parties. The extension contains no third-party tracking code, advertising SDKs, or analytics libraries.

Changes to This Policy

If this policy is updated, the new version will be published at this URL. Continued use of the extension constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
