Random Password Generation (Python)

2014-08-10T15:50:40-07:00

Python recipe 578920 by Paul Wolf (generator, password, python, random, string, strong).

Generate a password (or other secure token) using a pattern language similar to regular expressions. We'll use the strgen module that enables a user to generate test data, unique ids, passwords, vouchers or other randomized data very quickly using a template language. The template language is superficially similar to regular expressions but instead of defining how to match or capture strings, it defines how to generate randomized strings.

Just Another Password Generator (Python)

2012-06-21T15:41:10-07:00

Python recipe 578171 by Stephen Chappell (password, passwords, password_generator, utility).

The following two programs are simple examples of how one might go about creating a password generator. The first one was created several years ago and was designed to return passwords where similarly classed characters would not appear beside each other. It works but gets unbearably slow when passwords exceed about forty characters. The second program was designed with similar requirements runs considerably better. Eight-character passwords appear to have the same randomness to their construction, and this program is considerably faster than the first. Hopefully, these program design differences will be helpful to others trying to write their own password generator.
