Random Password Generator

Current Version: 1.2
Released: 16th March 2003

What is it?

Random Password Generator creates a password of the length you specify, containing both uppercase and lowercase letters, and numbers. Ideally a password should resemble line noise in order to prevent it from being guessed. It selects the characters using an implementation of the 'RANROT' type B pseudo random number generator by Agner Fog

What does it cost?

Nothing. Random Password Generator is provided to you under the GPL. You are welcome to use and distribute it at no cost.

What do I need to use it?

The only thing you need to use it is a PC running a 32-bit flavour of Microsoft Windows (95/98/Me/NT). A good memory would also be advantageous (the passwords it creates are not very memorable).

Is there a Linux/Unix/Macintosh version?

Not at the present time. When I eventually get around to porting all of my utilities to either WxWindows or Cygwin, releases for these platforms may become available. In the meantime, you are welcome to create your own port from the source code

The program is written in C++. I currently use Borland C++ Builder 4 as my development environment, so it is not strictly ANSI C++: it makes use of the Visual Component Library (VCL).
