password

Details #

password(length?, symbols?) makes a random password from the Mac's secure random source: 20 characters by default, with lower case, upper case, digits and symbols (one of each at least, when the length is 4 or more). With symbols false it is letters and digits only, and leaves out the look-alikes 0 O o 1 l I i, so it can be read aloud or copied by eye.

Parameters #

Takes 0 to 2 arguments. {{ password(text?, b?) }}

Examples #

password()

password(12, false)

Gotchas #
