Generating Random Password

See more PRNG Examples

Demonstrates how to generate random passwords. Ruby

require '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.new()

# 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 1 .. 10
    print fortuna.randomPassword(8,bDigit,bUpperAndLower,otherChars,excludeChars) + "\n";
