How to generate user passwords

[Bill Vlahos]

Mark,

Nice. Thank you.

I want to add a feature to InfoWallet to generate passwords for a user so the user doesn't have to think them up. InfoWallet can manage the passwords and can automate login in to a web page or application using the Login Assistant feature with as little as 2 clicks. Your function generates very random strings which might be too random for a user to remember on their own.

I didn't know you can just specify "repeat theLength".
