Password Generator with PowerShell
Whenever I had to think of a secure password I followed these steps:
- The right order of vocals and consonants makes it more easy to remember a password.
- And so do three digits of a number.
- Add one uppercase Letter. Likely as the first character.
- Add a dot or another sign to expand to vocabulary even more.
As I’am using a PowerShell a lot I’ve created the function/script below to create such a password.
function Get-RandomPasswort{
$numbers = 1..9
$consonants = "b","c","d","f","g","h","k","l","m","n","p","r","s","t","v","w","x","z"
$nopeletters = "j","q","y"
$vocals = "a","e","i","o","u"
$dotsandstuff = ",",".","-"
$nopedotsandstuff = ";",":","_"
return (Get-Random $consonants).ToString().ToUpper() +
(Get-Random $vocals) +
(Get-Random $consonants) +
(Get-Random $numbers) +
(Get-Random $numbers) +
(Get-Random $numbers) +
(Get-Random $vocals) +
(Get-Random $consonants) +
(Get-Random $vocals) +
(Get-Random $dotsandstuff)
}
