Hey. Long time no post. Where in the world did the Password Generators go? They were a part of the site before the redesign from 2022. Even if they weren't strictly helpful for tool-assisted speedrunning, I'm sure someone found them useful (other than me). Goodness knows that plenty of sites – like some parts of the Speed Demo Archive – linked to it. Seems odd that it would just up and away without a trace or explanation…

It's a bit buried in the Github issues, but: https://github.com/TASVideos/tasvideos/issues/878 To restate the answer though, they would have needed to be remade completely from scratch, and we figured it was too much of a burden for us. Of course, that being said, the site's open source now so if anyone wants to contribute rewritten password generators, they're more than welcome to.

Ah, that makes sense. The website seems to run on a kind of Wikimedia API, now, and I can't imagine JavaScript is inherently compatible. Thank you very much!
