Generating Random Password

Demonstrates how to generate random passwords.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

JavaScript

var success = false;

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

success = false;

var fortuna = new CkPrng();

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

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

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

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

// Generate 8-character passwords:
var i;
for (i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
    console.log(fortuna.RandomPassword(8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars));
}
