Hi,

Was looking for a way to make these easy-to-remember passwords. Thanks for the tip about alternating vowels and consonants.

As I just need an 8 character password with no numbers (and am not concerned about any “fuc”s or “sex”es which might arise, I developed the following one-line generator.

Generation of the initial string using crypt() and uniqueid() is perhaps not the best way in the world, but works fine for me. Just posting this here in case it helps anybody who does not necessarily want a whole function.

echo substr(ereg_replace(”([aeiou])[aeiou] “, “\\1″, ereg_replace(”([^aeiou])[^aeiou] “, “\\1″, ereg_replace(”[^[:alpha:]]”, “”, strtolower(crypt(uniqid()).crypt(uniqid()).crypt(uniqid()))))),0,8).”\n”;

Amazingly, this mess actually works great! You can change the “8″ at the end for different length passwords as required, and adding numbers could also be jigged onto this line of code.

Nice one.

Just try to give an option of testing this online. like dome or something which will help the non technical users.

Thank you for your nice little function here. Just wanted to let you know that it’s been helpful on Ebyte.com for our password reset page.

You do some pretty useful stuff, I also think that mnemonic passwords are better for remembering.
