Simple Password Generator for PHP

• PHP 7.0

composer require npluis/passwordgenerator

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';


$generator = new \Npluis\PasswordGenerator\PasswordGenerator();
$password = $generator->create();

• length between 8 and 10: $generator->create(8,10);
• fixed length: $generator->create(12,12);
• only a-zA-Z0-0: $generator->setAllowBrackets(false)->setAllowSpecial(false)->create();

use your own character set

$generator->setChars('AbCdEfG@#$%%<>;')->setAllowSpecial(false)->setAllowBrackets(false)

To prevent weak passwords from being generated or entered by a user when creating a new one you can use some checks.

check for blacklist words (like password, admin, qwerty, etc)

$checker->addToBlacklist('blacklist');
$checker->checkPassword('123blacklist'); //BLACKLIST_WORD
$checker->checkPassword('BlackList'); //BLACKLIST_WORD

check for weak passwords like 1111 or aaa by specifying the minimum number of unique lower case characters

$checker->setMinUniqueChars(3);
$checker->checkPassword('111Aa'); //UNIQUE_CHARS only two unique lowercase chars a and 1
