Generating Random Password

See more PRNG Examples

Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$success = 0;

$fortuna = chilkat::CkPrng->new();

# Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include at least one digit (0-9)
$bDigit = 1;

# Set this equal to 1 if the generated password must include both uppercase and lowercase chars.
$bUpperAndLower = 1;

# 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++) {
    print $fortuna->randomPassword(8,$bDigit,$bUpperAndLower,$otherChars,$excludeChars) . "\r\n";
