Here’s a code snippet that will quickly generate a random password, using PHP. You can specify the characters set and the number of characters.
function generatePassword($length = 6, $chars = '23456789abcdefghijkmnpqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKMNPQRSTUVWXYZ') { $password = ''; $char_length = strlen($chars); for ($i = 0; $i < $length; $i++) { $num = rand() % $char_length; $password .= $chars[$num]; } return $password; }
Comments are welcome, as always. Have a faster way or a leaner function? Feel free to share!
