Most devices (Modems/Routers) require you to enter WEP/WPA keys
during Wireless security configuration. Unlike regular passwords, these keys have strict length requirements based on type of security mechanism (WEP, WPA, WPA2 etc).
In such cases, 'Wi-Fi Password Key Generator' can help you to easily generate these keys. It supports all types of Wireless Security configurations (WEP, WPA, WPA2) and key length combinations as shown below,
WEP - 64-bit - 5 Characters
WEP - 128-bit - 13 Characters
WEP - 152-bit - 16 Characters
WEP - 256-bit - 29 Characters
WPA - 64-bit - 8 Characters
WPA2 - 160-bit - 20 Characters
WPA2 - 504-bit - 63 Characters
It generates Secure Wireless keys using combination of lowercase letters, uppercase letters, numbers and special symbols.
Also the generated key is displayed in both ASCII and HEX format. So based on what your wireless device asks, you can copy the right form of key.
It is very easy to use this tool and any one can generate secure Wi-Fi key within seconds with few clicks.
It is fully portable, does not require JAVA, .NET etc and works on both 32 bit & 64 bit platforms starting from Windows XP to Windows 8.
About Wireless WEP/WPA Keys
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) was introduced originally to provide similar security and privacy as wired networks to wireless networks. WEP encryption standard supports 64-bit, 128-bit, 152-bit and 256-bit keys.
Standard 64-bit WEP uses a 40 bit key and 24-bit initialization vector (IV) to form the 64-bit key. So 64-bit WEP key is also referred as 40-bit WEP key by some devices. Similarly WEP 128-bit, 152-bit, 256-bit keys are also referred as WEP-104, WEP-128, WEP-232 key respectively.
Here 64-bit WEP key requires you to enter 5 ASCII characters or 10 HEX characters. Similar WEP 128-bit, 152-bit, 256-bit keys need 13 ASCII (26 HEX), 16 ASCII (32 HEX), 29 ASCII (58 HEX) characters respectively.
Due to various weaknesses of WEP, later new wireless security standards WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA 2 have been introduced. WPA supports 64-bit key (8 characters) where as WPA2 supports minimum 160-bit (20 ASCII characters) to maximum 504-bit (63 ASCII characters).
