Password Generator

Just a simple little password generator

Code:

#include <iostream>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
using namespace std;

static const char alphabet_Numbers[] =
"0123456789"
"!@#$&"
"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
int size = sizeof(alphabet_Numbers) - 1;

int main()
{
    system("color a");
    //password length
    int length = 8;

    srand(time(0));
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        cout << alphabet_Numbers[rand() % size];
    }
    return 0;
    }

Pretty good, you should make it so that it allows the user to enter the length of their wanted password.

It's not ACTUALLY random, it's pseudo-random

pc can't do 'random'

Where are the passwords from ? is it just loads of passwords you entered ?

The passwords is made up randomly from the chars in the array, doing this makes it harder to brute-force the password using a dictionary attack, however the actual program is only allotting 8 characters to be used in the password which wont take long using a normal brute-force attack, although with the added difficulty of numbers, special chars and uppercase letters, this will make it harder to crack.

Nice Good Work

or you could just use keepass 2 and generate 256bit strong passwords

{

    //password length
    cout<<"enter your desired length \n";
    cin>>length;
    srand(time(0));
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        cout << alphabet_Numbers[rand() % size];
    }
    return 0;
    }

You forgot to declare length (int length; ), other than that, it looks good.
