Answer 2

I could give one:
A password generator is a program written to basically generate random strings[collection of letters, numbers, signs...] whereas
A password cracker is a program that employs methods of "analysis in retrieving or bypassing or even guessing passwords".
One is a program written to generate some stuff deemed as passwords the other employs already existing and as well new methods to guess or crack passwords.
