RE: Generating a file of 8 character passwords

["Don Cavaiani" <dcavaiani@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting and fun ideas from ALL!  Thank you LIST!

I just used the random-password - which worked right in the browser and
I copied into an Excel file.  I will upload into System i and further
integrate the passwords into a Supplier Portal system I am building.

THANKS!

Is this to generate System i passwords?

If so, I would recommend http://www.random-password.co.uk

Although it only generates 40 passwords at a time it's your best bet
(without having to download a password generation program) as you can
restrict it to just use A-Z, 0-9.  It doesn't create a file though -
just lists the generated passwords on screen, but you could always run
it the required number of times and cut'n'paste the results to a file.

http://www.randpass.com will generate up to 100 random 8 character
passwords in one go. It doesn't create a file either. But assuming your
requirement is for System i passwords, it won't be much use to you as
each one contains a non-alpha character which most likely won't be valid
for system i passwords. For example:

zi<arrde
hi.dyisi
nei|cedo
sur}isla

I guess you could search and replace all the non-alphas with valid
characters, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having them
automatically generated, although it would still be quicker than trying
to generate the passwords yourself - there aren't that many special
characters.

I think http://www.random-password.co.uk is better than any of the other
real-time (i.e. non-download) password generators I've seen - most of
them will only generate one password at a time.

There are various downloadable password generation programs - which I'd
love to look at, but I get enough complaints about hogging the bandwidth
as it is.

Generating a file of 8 character passwords







Anyone know of a free program which will randomly generate a file of 
passwords (approx. 500 of them)?
