No doubt this is a "version 1.0" of the spreadsheet. So, what did I audit, why did I choose that criteria, and how did the generators fall out? Some were great while some were just downright horrible. When all was said and done, I had audited 300 total generators that can be used with the browser.
So, I created a spreadsheet to keep track of what I was auditing, and it quickly grew from "online generators" to "password generators and passphrase generators", to "web password, web passphrase, bookmarklet, chrome extensions, and firefox extenions". I soon realized that I wanted to grade these online generators and sift out the good from the bad. However, the deeper I got, the more I realized some were doing their generation securely and others weren't.

Some were deterministic, using strong password hashing or key derivation functions, and some had very complex interfaces, allowing you to control everything from letter case to pronounceable passwords and unambiguity. Sure enough, I found some, such as using mouse movements as a source of entropy to flashy animations of rolling dice for a Diceware generator. It started by looking for creative ideas I could borrow or extend upon for my online password generator. For the past several months now, I have been auditing password generators for the web browser in Google Sheets.
