Password Generator

[the_architect]

Here is a password generator I have made. You can choose to include lower and upper case letters, numbers, special characters or include your own characters. You will need the .NET 3.5 SP1 framework installed.

I know there are plenty out there but I decided to make my own. :)

Download

If you do use this for your passwords, you do so at your own discretion, I don't accept any responsibility for your actions.

Nice man, I will download and have a try!

I haven't downloaded it, but the concept is nice. You could repackage the functionality as a class library, that way other people could plug it into their own projects?

Good work.

Nice idea. Although I think I will be sticking to this site for now, https://www.grc.com/passwords.htm

It seems your program has a few problems. :p It will help if you combine all the characters into one list and remove duplicates.

The problem is though, you want a password of 16 characters but only have 2 different characters. So it generates with what is has. :)

First Screenshot: There are 26 letters and only one @. So there shouldn't be 8 @ in the password.

Second Screenshot: There are only two letters, a and b. So there shouldn't be 15 a's and only one b.

So first of all, combine all the selected character sets into one string, so you have "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz@". This way, so many @ don't appear in the password.

Second, remove duplicate characters, so "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaab" becomes just "ab".

Great and all -- good way to practice skills, etc. but as you stated there are many out there.

I would just stick with this one -- can create right on the website or download an offline version.

Allows you to create from 1 to 100 and also gives phonetic spelling of the passwords, etc. Comes with a password checker, etc. But yours looks like a good start.
