当我们网站上的用户失去密码并转到"丢失密码"页面时，我们需要为他提供一个新的临时密码。我真的不介意这有多随机，或者如果它与所有"需要的"强密码规则匹配，我要做的就是给他们提供一个密码，以后可以更改。

该应用程序是用C＃编写的Web应用程序。所以我当时想变得刻薄，并选择使用Guid的简单方法。 IE。

Guid.NewGuid().ToString("d").Substring(1,8)

建议？有什么想法吗？

这要大得多，但我认为它看起来更全面一些：

public string CreatePassword(int length)
{
        const string valid = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890";
        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
        Random rnd = new Random();
        while (0 < length--)
        {
            res.Append(valid[rnd.Next(valid.Length)]);
        }
        return res.ToString();
}

能够从可用字符列表中为生成的密码进行选择(例如，仅数字，仅大写或者仅小写等)，这是一个很好的好处。

回答

对于这种密码，我倾向于使用一种系统，该系统很可能生成更容易使用的"密码"。简短，通常由可发音的片段和一些数字组成，并且没有字符间的歧义(是0还是O？A 1或者I？)。就像是

string[] words = { 'bur', 'ler', 'meh', 'ree' };
string word = "";

Random rnd = new Random();
for (i = 0; i < 3; i++)
   word += words[rnd.Next(words.length)]

int numbCount = rnd.Next(4);
for (i = 0; i < numbCount; i++)
  word += (2 + rnd.Next(7)).ToString();

return word;

(直接在浏览器中键入，因此仅用作准则。此外，添加更多单词)。

我喜欢查看生成密码，就像生成软件密钥一样。我们应该从遵循良好做法的字符数组中进行选择。采取@ Radu094回答的内容，并对其进行修改以遵循良好做法。不要将每个字母都放在字符数组中。有些字母很难通过电话说出或者理解。

我们还应该考虑对生成的密码使用校验和，以确保它是由我们生成的。实现此目的的一种好方法是使用LUHN算法。

总有一个System.Web.Security.Membership.GeneratePassword(int length，int numberOfNonAlphanumericCharacters`)。
