How To Generate A Simple Random Password In PHP [Unbreakable]

The password should be longer.  Longer the password harder to crack! You can consider 8 character size or more.

Avoid things such as the use of just names, places, favorite words, date of birth, personal phone number etc as a password.

Use a mixture of numbers, letters, uppercase and lowercase letters, special symbols etc.

EXAMPLE:

CREATING SIMPLE RANDOM PASSWORD IN PHP [UNBREAKABLE]

<?php
/*******
PROGRAM: Create a simple random password in PHP which will be unbreakable
******/

// STEP 1. Define the password length

$password_length=10;

// STEP 2. DEFINE AND CALL PASSOWRD GENERATOR FUNCTION

function unbreakable_password($pass_len=8)  // default value, if length is not provided

{

// all the characters which you want to use for password creation

$all_chars='ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!@#$%abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz';

//shuffle all chars..

$shuffled_chars= str_shuffle( $all_chars);

//get first $pass_lennumber of characters from shuffled string as a password

$password = substr( $shuffled_chars, 0, $pass_len);

return $password;

}

echo $unbreakable_password=unbreakable_password($password_length);

?>
