Password Generator

[Ooopsie]

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.

I use it frequently my self. Use RoboForm and back it up daily.

It was just a though.

Not to mention, when the site provides it, people tend to be a bit paranoid of it.

Understood however, if it were a bbcode in a locked post every time a refresh came along the password would change.

Not a big deal. Not too important either, it was just a thought.

There are newbies in phpBB or people who know nothing about the other parts of the internet such as saving passwords.

How will this benefit them?

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.

Password force change is already there but not on a user by user basis. If my board were larger, I'd push it but we are too small.

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