Hi guys,

I have a project for which it would be nice to generate a "random" password I searched the board and found the post below. It works but is not ideal for my project. Did someone ever do anything with password generation in Kix and can someone recommend a command line tool they like? I found may command line tools but they all claim to be the best and the safest

Hmmm...easier than expected.

Nothing more than a random string generator but it works. Maybe I will add a parameter for simple and more complicated passwords but for now, I do not have a need for that.

 Code:
Break on

? RandomString(10)

Sleep 10

Function RandomString($lenght)
	Dim $characters, $i, $str

	$characters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789<>/{}=+&%$#@!*~"
	For $i = 1 to $lenght + 1
		$str = $str + SubStr($characters, Rnd(Len($characters)), 1)
	Next
	$RandomString = $str
EndFunction

best seed everytime with @ticks before you call rnd()

I was thinking about that but when I use SRND to seed RND like shown below I get 1 string that has 10 characters. The other four are the same with extra characters added at the end to match the length specified. Without SRND I get five completely different strings so I took it out.

Seeding with @MSECS or @TICKS does not make any difference.

 Code:
Break on

? RandomString(10)
? RandomString(12)
? RandomString(14)
? RandomString(16)
? RandomString(18)

Sleep 10

Function RandomString($length)
	;Define variables
	Dim $characters, $i, $str
	
	;Set characters to use in random string
	$characters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789<>/{}=+&%$#@!*~"
	
	;Seed the random number generator
	SRnd(@MSECS)
	
	;Loop to create random string until the string has the same length as specified
	For $i = 1 to $length + 1
		;Add next character to random string
		$str = $str + SubStr($characters, Rnd(Len($characters)), 1)
	Next
		
	$RandomString = $str
EndFunction

Here is a very old script that I posted over on the kixforms forum 15 years ago. I'm sure some of the code could be extremely optimized by now, and I had to change some frames to group boxes to get it to display right, but it still works! haha

 Code:
;;;;;; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
;;;;;;   Description   :   Used to generate passwords.  Password will always contain a number. 
;;;;;;            Password will also always contain a special character if one is chosen. 
;;;;;;            Password will not contain L,l,I,i,0,O,o, as these are hard to read/enter. 
;;;;;;   Dependencies   :   KiX 4.10.0.0 or WKiX 4.11.0.0 and KiXForms 2.2.0.37

Wow that's an oldie. I did not even remember that one. Reading some of the post (and discovering I even posted there myself) some bells started ringing and I remember using this back then. Not sure what happened. I guess changing jobs and getting 12 year older in the mean time sort of got in the way......
