Random Passwords

[Kilian]

Hi,

Now we have the ability to generate Random Passwords when we add a new Admin, Resseller or User.

Maybe you could expand this to new pop3 accounts, ftp accounts, ... every where we have to give a new password.

I would like that. Anyone else??

 

[freshmint]

I like it.

I agree and would also like to see a random user name generator too.

Randon password

Totally agree. We now see the random password on admin but can we have it for emails?

Oh yes. That would be just fine !!
When can we expect this?
Or is there an easy way to implement this our selfs?

Well it's not up to me, it's up to John and Mark to decide if they even want to do it but..

But you're welcome to use our username and password generator..

It also alternates the numbers and letters between left and right hand keystrokes for added security (so someone can't follow what you type so easily if they are looking over your shoulder)

Great. Works nice.
Is it written in php? Could you email me the source code?
I could implement this in an intranet site I'm making at the moment.

Yes it's php - it's written by David our programmer - drop him an email to david (at) matrixxhosting.com

It's Davids work so it's up to him!

In linux you can run this from the command line:

/usr/local/bin/mkpasswd -l 8 -s 0 -2

to get a password of eight alphanumeric characters, alternating from left to right hand.

To see other options, look at:

man mkpasswd

mkpasswd

Jeff,

Are you certain that 'mkpasswd' is the correct command??
It's not on my DA box with Fedora 4?
I also checked in the path you specified. Nothing !!

I use apg on freebsd:

cd /usr/ports/security/apg
make install clean


man apg, to see the multitude of options

 

[nobaloney]

I'm no longer sure where I got it .

I should have known that the path indicates I added it.
