#get only the passwords, without the column PasswordId Get-RandomPassword -NoOfPasswords 7000 -OpenInTextFile
#get a large number of passwords and open in temp txt file #If you change a percent, you need to input Percents that sum 1 #Generate Passwords without Upper Case Letters and Special Characters #Open TempFile in Notepad (multiple passwords) and change password structure(30% lower case letters, 30% upper case, 20% numbers, 20% special characters): #Get 1 password with custom number of characters, default percents #Use defaults: 1 password, 15 chars, default percents: 25% upper case letters, 25% lower case letters, 30% numbers and 20% special characters. Next let’s see some examples of how the function can be used. And to be honest, the first reason why I created this simple module was for fun and practice 🙂 Also, by using this module it is possible to generate very quick a large number of passwords, for example 10.000 or more. I know there are many websites and also other Powershell modules that can be used for generating random passwords, but I created my own module because I wanted to be able to control the structure of the passwords: what percents of upper case, lower case letter, numbers and special characters the passwords will contain. Import-Module "yourlocalfolder\RandomPasswordGenerator.psm1" If you don’t want to install it, you can download the “RandomPasswordGenerator.psm1” from the GitHub Repository and import it when you want to generate random passwords:
You can also use the help cmdlet to see information about this function and examples of how to use it: Install-Module $ModuleName -Force -Confirm:$falseĪfter the module is installed (only once) you can use the function “Get-RandomPassword” in any powershell session. Get-Module -Name $ModuleName -ListAvailable | Uninstall-Module You can do this with the following commands: The first thing you need to do for using it is to install the module from the Powershell Gallery. In order to generate random passwords, I created the RandomPasswordGenerator, which is a simple Powershell Module that you can use for generating one or more random passwords. In this way you will need to remember only one password (for the password manager account) and you can use very strong random passwords, that you don’t have to remember, for the rest of accounts. If you want to ensure the security of your accounts, an option is to use randomly generated passwords for each account together with a password manager tool (for example I use lastpass).
