[HiFiKabin]

Extension Name: Random Password Generator
Author: HiFiKabin

Extension Description: Adds a 20 character Random Password Generator to the Registration Page and Edit Account Settings Page of the UCP as well as via a link in Quick Links. Should the user have JavaScript disabled the Password Generator will not work and is hidden from view.

Note:

• The generated password is created from at least one each of the following:-
  • Upper Case Letters.
  • Lower Case Letters.
  • Numbers 0-9
  • 18 "special characters"
  That gives a total possible different passwords options of:-
  
  ((26 + 26 + 10 + 18)¹⁶) x 26 x 26 x 10 x 18 which equals 3.429E+36
  
  Thats 3,429 followed by 33 0's which is 3.429 Sextillion (UK definition)
  
  To put that number into perspective, the odds of winning the UK Lottery are 1 in 45,057,474

Thats 457 followed by 92 0's which is 45,700 Quindecillion (UK definition)

I think you will agree, thats a lot of possible passwords.

I cannot remember the ones I have so I have no chance with all of those

Thats what Password managers are for.

(26x26x10x8)²⁰ which equals 4.57E+94

I think you mean
(26 + 26 + 10 + 8)^ 20 which equals 7.979E+36

Blow me (or some such word) you are correct. I don't know why I had multiplication in my head. Thanks for the correction, I'll change it now (its still a bloody big number though)

Looks interesting. What kind of randomness are you using to create the password?

[2600]

Clicking “Copy” will copy that password to your computers clipboard.

The word "computers" should be computer's.

In the U.S, blow me is a sexual derogatory phrase. https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=blow+me

Its a psudo randomness created on the users computer. More than effective enough for this application IMHO

Of course it should

I guess Popeye the Sailor Man always said, "well blow me down."

Do you guys still call a cigarette a fag? That's another derogatory term used in the U.S. for gay people, particularly of men.

It's really funny because you guys invented the damn English language, yet hear we tore it all to hell. Plus we have so many terms and what not for everything and like to shorten things.


Anyway, extension works thus far on my test site. What's your opinion on adding an option under the Extensions tab to set the password length or other variables? Can phpBB use high case characters? Is that a good idea? I use Truecrypt and in the manual it made mention of not using high case characters for some reason which I don't understand.

Dito! Except in the U.S.

Edit-

In case you don't know, this is (I think) a high case character. ¼

Okay, found an issue I never noticed until now. It's how my username and password boxes get rearranged when the extension is activated. See images. I'm using the Win10 style here: viewtopic.php?t=2403406







This is on the index. You can see what the username and password boxes look like on my site clicking my Info. Though, the extension is not installed there atm. Only on my test site.

¼ doesn't work (I know because I had to change a users name to name.5 from name ½ and the ½ was not accepted)

I had wondered about adding an ACP panel, but to be honest I don't see many people wanting to change things. If you do its a simple edit.


See HERE for options on the latest version

I think we posted at the same time. See my post above on an issue I found.

Thanks for the code explanation. I can now adjust to my max field. I guess from what I read, if someone uses the forgot password option, a temp password could be as long as your max password allowed, and by default that's 100 characters. Reading that I changed the max to 18. Though, I guess 20 isn't really that bad. I just have another forum and most users there use a smartphone and it would be a PITA for them to use such long passwords. Most probably don't know about Apps like Keepass2Andoid or other password safe Apps, or even Keepass for a computer. Love that program! I backup its database all over hell including on Blu-ray and DVD/RW every time there's something added to it. And my passwords are massive.

Okay, I'm code stupid, but I can understand that the characters used have to be between brackets [ ] How would I add those to the symbols that the script can pick from? Would there be any kind of mess up, or does it even matter so long as the symbols fall between brackets?
