Password Generator/Validator
Introduction
Tired of spending hours trying to come up with that new password that will meet certain password requirements? Or of entering a password you think will work only to have the system say “Sorry?” Well, look no further. The Password Generator/Validator is the answer to all of your problems.
The Password Generator/Validator will let you validate a password, or generate some new passwords, that will meet some obtuse requirements that are plainly laid out in the box labeled “Summary of Password Requirements” below.
Instructions
Well, “How do I use this?,” you might ask.
Simple.
To validate a password, simply enter it in the box below and select the “Check Password” button. The Password Generator/Validator will tell you if your password is compliant, and if it's not, it will tell you why.
Or, if you're having trouble coming up with a password that meets the requirements, select the “Give me some passwords to choose from.” link and 15 random, 6 to 10 character, passwords will be generated. If you want to use one of these you can copy it by clicking in the box to select it, then typing ctrl-c to copy it. You can then paste it into any other application. If you don't like any of the passwords, you can ask for some new ones.
