Keysmith turns password creation into one tap. Generate a strong random password or a memorable passphrase, entirely on your device — no account, no cloud sync, no ads. Every password generator claims to be secure. Keysmith is also careful: copied passwords clear themselves from your clipboard after 30 seconds, and nothing you generate ever leaves your phone. Built for anyone who signs up for things — new accounts, guest Wi-Fi, one-off logins — and wants a password that's actually strong, not just long. WHAT YOU GET • Random passwords, 8–64 characters, with full control over uppercase, lowercase, digits, and symbols • Passphrase mode — readable, memorable word-based passphrases instead of gibberish • A live strength meter shows real entropy in bits, not a vague color bar • Copy with confidence — the clipboard clears itself automatically • Recent history, kept locally, never uploaded anywhere KEYSMITH PRO (one-time purchase) • Batch generate up to 100 passwords or passphrases at once and share the list • Save custom presets for the sites and services you use most • Exclude ambiguous or site-specific characters • Passphrases up to 10 words long • Unlimited history No account. No tracking. No subscription. Just a fast, honest password generator. Terms of Use (EULA): https://obelisk.club/passwordgenerator/terms

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RemoteBoot WOL at none against Passphrasely's 1. RemoteBoot WOL also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). Passphrasely's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.
