    Unhappy Random Number generator, and info save

    I've tried making a little program that randomly makes a randomized password. Then allowing me to attach side info like Email, username, and where the account is registered to. with a trigger to each one to copy the password to my clipboard. I have had no success as I have little to no experience in doing VB at all. If anyone can point me in the right directions.
    I currently am stuck, I'm trying to find a compact way to have a list of information, that per line Can copy either the whole thing, or a portion (depending on if the list cumps all the information, or if it keeps them separate)

    Let me try to understand, Do you want an app to store pass's and usernames right?

    Related to a way of keeping all the info organized, use a List View for example, or a Data Grid View.
    Light travels faster than sound. That's why most people seem bright until you hear them speak.

    I'd use a MDB. Add a databinding source. Then for the random password generator use a guid generator.

    There is no way for a machine to generate a truly random number (just putting that out there)

    However, we can make seemingly random numbers by seeding the process for generating numbers. I personally like using a stopwatch that starts at the beginning and then i just reference StopWatch1.ElapsedMilliseconds as my seed value but a lot of people use the machine time though.

    One cool trick I saw was using the movement of the mouse to seed the PRNG, I believe it was truecrypt i saw do this.

    Oh no! Vortex is gay!
