Jayson Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 It's good but IMO you should take off all special char since in most case they aren't accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually consist of a pairs of consonant-vocal combination. e.g. naguriby (y is phonetic similar to i (in german)).I eaven once wrote a pw generator in Autoit for this.

JohnOne Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I dont use random passwords, I made a code up some time ago, so I never forget them, I only have to look at the url or name of the website and almost instantly remember the password, even if I havent entered it for 2 years. Pros. My passwords are never stored digitally or written anywhere cons. if my code is broken, they are all broken.

hannes08 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Hi Folks, here's my pwgenerator, it's basic and simple. As I already said I use it to create (initial) passwords for users, so they should not be very hard to remember. Because if they are hard to remember, then you may find the PW under the keyboard sometimes. Func _pwGen($i_len) $s_pw = "" $s_voc = "aeiouyj" $s_con = "bcdfghklmnprstvwxz" $i_pos_num = Random(0, ($i_len - 2) / 2, 1) * 2 Do If StringLen($s_pw) = $i_pos_num Then $s_pw &= Random(0, 9, 1) & Random(0, 9, 1) If StringLen($s_pw) < ($i_len) Then $s_pw &= StringMid($s_con, Random(1, StringLen($s_con) - 1, 1), 1) & StringMid($s_voc, Random(1, StringLen($s_voc) - 1, 1), 1) Until StringLen($s_pw) = ($i_len) Return $s_pw EndFunc Edited April 1, 2011 by Hannes123 Regards,Hannes[spoiler]If you can't convince them, confuse them![/spoiler] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I already said I use it to create (initial) passwords for users, so they should not be very hard to remember. Because if they are hard to remember, then you may find the PW under the keyboard sometimes. If StringLen($s_pw) < ($i_len) Then $s_pw &= StringMid($s_con, Random(1, StringLen($s_con) - 1, 1), 1) & StringMid($s_voc, Random(1, StringLen($s_voc) - 1, 1), 1) You should correct that line above and change it so that the StringLen commands don't subtract 1, otherwise you'll never have a password with a Z or J in it. If StringLen($s_pw) < ($i_len) Then $s_pw &= StringMid($s_con, Random(1, StringLen($s_con), 1), 1) & StringMid($s_voc, Random(1, StringLen($s_voc), 1), 1) If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.

BrewManNH Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I like it though, it's simple and easy to understand. Although it won't work for everything, because some times you need non-alphanumeric characters or uppercase letters, it does the job well.
