RE: Random Password

[Peter Stolz]

I wrote a custom tag that does this:

<CF_RANDOMSTRING
    LENGTH        = "12"
    CHARSTART = "1"
    CHAREND   = "z"
    OUTPUTVARIABLE="myString">

generates a pseudo random string of specified length containing only
characters
found between the ascii values of CHARSTART and CHAREND


<CFPARAM NAME="Attributes.Length" DEFAULT="12">
<CFPARAM NAME="Attributes.CharStart" DEFAULT="1">
<CFPARAM NAME="Attributes.CharEnd" DEFAULT="z">
<CFPARAM NAME="Attributes.OutputVar" DEFAULT="RandomString">

<CFSCRIPT>
result = "";

for(i=1;i LT Attributes.Length;i=i+1){
    result = result &
Chr(RandRange(Asc(Attributes.CharStart),Asc(Attributes.CharEnd)));
}

SetVariable("Caller.#Attributes.OutputVar#",result);
</CFSCRIPT>

Here's one I got off this list a while ago.  Props to whoever wrote it,
because its helped me out a few times.

<cfscript>
        random_word = Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ", RandRange(1,26), 1);
        random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
RandRange(1,26), 1);
        random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
RandRange(1,26), 1);
        random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
RandRange(1,26), 1);
        random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
RandRange(1,26), 1);
        random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
RandRange(1,26), 1);
        random_word = random_word & Mid("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ",
RandRange(1,26), 1);

        password = "#random_word##RandRange(1000,9999)#";
</cfscript>

<cfoutput>PASSWORD: <b>#password#</b></cfoutput>

it will generate a password with 7 random letter and a 4 digit number.

All-

Sorry I am pressed for time today, but does any one have script for
generating random passwords?
