See more PRNG Examples

Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. CkPython

import chilkat

success = False

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

success = False

fortuna = chilkat.CkPrng()

# 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 in range(1,11):
    print(fortuna.randomPassword(8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars))
