Class that provides various types of password generation.

Usage

Generating passwords is a very common task in web applications. This package provides an easy-to-use and intuitive API to generate:

• pronounceable passwords
• unpronounceable passwords
• passwords based on a given string

For the last point, multiple, simple obfuscation algorithms are supported.

Creating a Pronouncable Password

<?php require_once 'Text/Password.php'; // Create pronouncable password of 10 characters. echo Text_Password::create() . "\n"; // Create 3 different pronouncable passwords of length 8. print_r(Text_Password::createMultiple(3, 8)); ?>

Creating an Unpronouncable Password

<?php require_once 'Text/Password.php'; // Create unpronounceable password of length 8 with a, b, and c as // possible characters. echo Text_Password::create(8, 'unpronounceable', 'abc') . "\n"; // Create 4 different unpronounceable passwords of length 10. print_r(Text_Password::createMultiple(4, 10, 'unpronounceable')); // Creating unpronounceable password of 8 chars with only alphanumeric // characters. Other classes that can be specified are 'numeric', 'alphabetic' // and '' for all characters. echo Text_Password::create(8, 'unpronounceable', 'alphanumeric') . "\n"; ?>

Creating passwords based on a given string:

<?php require_once 'Text/Password.php'; // Create password from login 'olivier', type is 'reverse'. Other supported // types are: // // - 'rot13' // - 'rotx' // - 'rotx++', // - 'rotx--', // - 'xor', // - 'ascii_rotx', // - 'ascii_rotx++', // - 'ascii_rotx--', // - 'shuffle', echo Text_Password::createFromLogin('olivier', 'reverse') . "\n"; // Create multiple passwords from array of logins. $logins = array('olivier', 'martin', 'vanhoucke', 'jansen'); print_r(Text_Password::createMultipleFromLogin($logins, 'reverse')); ?>
