I want to generate a random string that has to have 5 letters from a-z and 3 numbers.
How can I do this with JavaScript?
I\'ve got the following script, but
In case you need a password generated with at least 1 number, 1 upper case character, and 1 lower case character:
function generatePassword(passwordLength) {
var numberChars = "0123456789";
var upperChars = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var lowerChars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var allChars = numberChars + upperChars + lowerChars;
var randPasswordArray = Array(passwordLength);
randPasswordArray[0] = numberChars;
randPasswordArray[1] = upperChars;
randPasswordArray[2] = lowerChars;
randPasswordArray = randPasswordArray.fill(allChars, 3);
return shuffleArray(randPasswordArray.map(function(x) { return x[Math.floor(Math.random() * x.length)] })).join('');
}
function shuffleArray(array) {
for (var i = array.length - 1; i > 0; i--) {
var j = Math.floor(Math.random() * (i + 1));
var temp = array[i];
array[i] = array[j];
array[j] = temp;
}
return array;
}
alert(generatePassword(12));

Props to @mwag for giving me the start to create this.
