Password Generator

Password Generator

Adds a password generator to InputfieldPassword.

 

Usage

Install the Password Generator module.

Now any InputfieldPassword has a password generation feature. The settings for the generator are taken automatically from the settings* of the password field.

*Settings not supported by the generator:

• Complexify: but generated passwords should still satisfy complexify settings in the recommended range.
• Banned words: but the generated passwords are random strings so actual words are unlikely to occur.

Thanks for the great module. It would be awesome if you make the link text " Generate password " translateable

Very nice - would be awesome if we could somehow integrate these kinds of passwords (for easy memorisation): https://untroubled.org/pwgen/ppgen.cgi

Sure, this is done in v0.0.2

If you know of a Javascript library that can generate those sorts of passwords while still satisfying password field settings I'd be happy to integrate it. But I think memorising passwords is only a short hop away from reusing passwords, which is asking for trouble.

Also true - though passphrases and passwords are different beasts in themselves, and one would use them differently, in the context mentioned anyway. I generally like to have passphrases generated, and then saved to my local wallet (and then synced to my cloud wallet). As for a JS lib, I did find some, but they were a bit hectic, and one of them requires a user dictionary (doesn't come with a stock one)... Anyways, was just an idea.

v0.0.4 released - adds support for the new password field option that requires the old password to be entered.

Thank you!
Should be part of the core, BTW.

I agree

Hi @Robin S

In a process module I am writing, there is a function to create a new user. With PasswordGenerator installed (a must have!) I get the following notice :

PHP Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in .../modules/PasswordGenerator/PasswordGenerator.module:76

 

When I dump $field, Tracy return a null value :

$field = $inputfield->hasField; // line 47

 

 

There is nothing special in the function, I just declare a new InputfieldPassword :

[...]

// password
$field = new InputfieldPassword();
$field->attr("id+name","password");
$field->label = __("Mot de passe");
$field->required = true;
$field->minlength = 6;
$field->columnWidth = 50;
$form->append($field);

[...]

$out = $form->render();
return $out;

 

 

Thanks.

@flydev, thanks for the report. Looks like I didn't account for use of InputfieldPassword without an associated FieldtypePassword. Fixed in v0.1.5 (I changed to semantic versioning).

v0.1.6 released. Adds module config options to override the requirements  coming from the password inputfield, so the generator can create stronger passwords than the inputfield requires.
