[SF Coders] Password Generator - ★Cooldude★ - 12-06-2011

Code:
Function GeneratePassword(Byval Length)

If (Length < 5) Then

            Length = 5 'Do not allow a password of length less than 5

        End If

        Dim alphabet As String() = Split("a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z,A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z", ",") 'Declare Our Alphabet

        Dim numbers As String() = Split("0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9", ",") 'Declare our numbers

        Dim Symbols As String() = Split("!,£,$,%,^,&,*,(,),{,},~,@,:,;,#,?,/,>,.,<", ",") 'Declare our symbols

        Dim Rand As New Random 'Declare our random

        Dim Password As String = "" ''Decalre our password as an empty string

        While (Password.Length() < length)

            If (Password.Length() = (length - 1)) Then

                Password += Symbols((Rand.Next(0, UBound(Symbols))))

            ElseIf Password.Length() >= (length - 3) Then

                Password += numbers(Rand.Next(0, UBound(numbers)))

            Else

                Password += alphabet(Rand.Next(0, UBound(alphabet)))

            End If

        End While

        Return Password

    End Function

After making the PHP version of this password generator (Which can be found here) I decided that I wanted to create a VB.Net version.

Usage:

PHP Code:
GeneratePassword(Length) 

Example:

PHP Code:
GeneratePassword(15) 

Output: xBUFaMJOtoTK45(

Enjoy. Smile

Here is my version, uses random characters and a Select Case to make the password as random as possible.

I made it because most use the string array and it;s easier to use ASCII codes. You can also replace the whole Select Case and IF statements with a

PHP Code:
_Password += Chr(Random.Next(33, 126)) 

Which will give you a bit of everything if you don't want to make it selectable.

Function:

Spoiler (Click to View)

Usage:

PHP Code:
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        TextBox1.Text = GeneratePassword(NumericUpDown1.Value)
    End Sub

RE: [SF Coders] Password Generator - Denny Crane - 02-04-2012

Could i add more symbols and stuff? or will that make the password unusable on some websites...?

I'm pretty sure this is just logical common sense, but it's up to you which symbols you want to use. You'd just be chancing it for which websites would allow certain symbols as password chars that's all. Otherwise, usually websites allow you free will over what kind of complex password you want.

What if i wanted it to spell a certain word in there somewhere but generate random characters around it?

Again, I would say exactly what i've just said.

That's simply just common sense.
