Generating Random Password

Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. C

    BOOL success;
    HCkPrng fortuna;
    BOOL bDigit;
    BOOL bUpperAndLower;

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    success = FALSE;

    fortuna = CkPrng_Create();

    // Set this equal to TRUE if the generated password must include at least one digit (0-9)
    bDigit = TRUE;

    // Set this equal to TRUE if the generated password must include both uppercase and lowercase chars.
    bUpperAndLower = TRUE;

    // The generated password must contain one of the following non-alphanumeric chars.
    otherChars = "@#$%*";

    // Exclude chars that appear similar to others:
    excludeChars = "iIlLoO0";

    // Generate 8-character passwords:

    for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
        printf("%s\n",CkPrng_randomPassword(fortuna,8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars));
