Using the Generator

We recommend using Barcode Creator to generate passwords for your PKCS#12 files prior to export. When you launch Barcode Creator, either choose “Generate a Random Password” from the Edit menu or click the generator icon on the toolbar.

Generating a password

Set the length of the password, and Barcode creator will generate it, render the QR code as shown above, and copy the password to the clipboard. Once that’s done, either print or export your barcode and then use the appropriate utility to export your private key. Paste the newly generated password in when you’re asked for a passphrase. Since you’ll never have to type this manually, make the password very long.
