A fully functional password generator with a dark, minimal card UI. Users can control password length via a slider, toggle character types (uppercase, lowercase, numbers, symbols), and generate a cryptographically secure random password with one click. A 4-bar strength indicator updates live based on length and character variety. The generated password can be copied to the clipboard instantly with a toast notification and button feedback. Passwords auto-regenerate when options change and are built using window.crypto.getRandomValues() with a Fisher-Yates shuffle to guarantee randomness and character-type diversity.
