This function creates relatively secure random passwords. It's by no means ideal, but it should work in most non-critical situations. The nice thing is the generator attempts to create passwords that people can pronounce and chooses letters that won't be mistaken for others (such as the numeral "1", an upper-case "i" and a lower-case "L"). To keep the code short much of this functionality is very rudimentary, but it's better than nothing.

This is a quick and easy method to generate a somewhat random password. This simply generates the MD5 hash for the integer returned by the time() function and then truncates it to the specific length.

It works with Array types. The example is a simple list of numbers, but the array could contain anything; lists of strings, functions, DOM nodes, whatever. Unfortunately, a lot of things that seem like arrays in the DOM aren't really, so you can't shuffle the images on a page with just document.images.shuffle() all by itself.

This is a correct way to do login form auto-focus, checking to see if either username or password have focus already. This prevents someone from typing a username hitting TAB, then having JavaScript chime in, resetting focus to Username while user is typing in their password. In this case, the password is appended to the username which is in plaintext.

Usage: cscript //nologo RandPass.vbs [password_length]|[?] [complexity] [uniqueness]

This script will generate a random password of X length. It will build the password from seed 'strings of increasing complexity.
1 - simple is the lower case alphabet, numbers 2-9 and !@#$%^&*() all randomly interspersed.
2 - complex is the same as the previous with the addition of UPPER case letters.
3 - insane is the same as the previous with the additional symbols of ,./?>;'[]}{\|~`:
The numbers 0 and 1 have been removed to avoid confusion with the letters O and L.

password_length should be a number between 4 and 127, although a limit of 14 is recommended for Win9x clients. Default is 7
complexity must be 1,2 or 3
uniqueness value of 0 will make each password character unique. A value of 1 [default] will allow repeated characters.

If you don't pass values at the command prompt, you will be prompted for each value.
