Generating Random Password

See more PRNG Examples

Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. C#

bool success = false;

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

success = false;

Chilkat.Prng fortuna = new Chilkat.Prng();

// 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.
string otherChars = "@#$%*";

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

// Generate 8-character passwords:
int i;
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
    Debug.WriteLine(fortuna.RandomPassword(8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars));
