actually it's not that complicated and it can also be modified.
The passwd gets randomized from an array of chars.
The current one is:
my @a = ("A" .. "H", "J" .. "N", "P" .. "Z", "a" .. "k", "m" .. "z",
"2" .. "9");
We can just modify it to exclude other chars.
Let me know which ones need to be removed.
0,1, l(lc L), I(uc i) are already excluded.
We can pull out O, Z, 2. Any others?
