Password Generator

Postby Ooopsie » 31 Dec 2010, 14:20

How about a random password generator in the UCP? Could be a BBCode option as well.

Users don't want random generated passwords. They are usually difficult to remember.

What I was thinking of was a BBCode that will generate a password. Every time a user visits the topic, a password would be generated. It would be a locked topic.

It was a simple though.

I'm sure said user can go to a site and get their password if they really want it like that. Nice suggestion but I don't think it would be useful for phpBB forums.

A BBCode to generate a random password and then change that users password really makes no sense. But as a option in UCP it could be useful together with a requirement to regularly replace the password for some, I assume.

But I still think that users would hate that thing, and some forum admins would love it. :P

Yes, I do know that force password change already is there. I meant "to be used with".
