How can I create a password?

Question

I want to give maybe a million password to some users that should be like:

1. It must have at least 6 characters
2. It must have digits and also letters

Answer 1

Implemented a PasswordBuilder. Supports passwrod limit, must have characters and how much of them, char ranges and a list of them.

Usage Example:

System.out.println(new PasswordBuilder().addCharsOption("!@#$%&*()_-+=[]{}\\|:/?.,><", 1).addRangeOption('A', 'Z', 1).addRangeOption('a', 'z', 0).addRangeOption('0', '9', 1).build());

Example result: QU1GY7p+j+-PUW+_

System.out.println(new PasswordBuilder().addCharsOption("!@#$%&*()_-+=[]{}\\|:/?.,><", 1).addRangeOption('A', 'Z', 1).addRangeOption('a', 'z', 0).addRangeOption('0', '9', 1).setSize(5).build());

Example result: %,4NX
