Generating Random Password

See more PRNG Examples

Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. C++

#include <CkPrng.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    success = false;

    CkPrng fortuna;

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

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

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

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

    // Generate 8-character passwords:
    int i;
    for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
        std::cout << fortuna.randomPassword(8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars) << "\r\n";
    }
    }
