We had “analrita” as an autogenerated password that resulted in a complaint many years ago. Might consider adding ‘a’ as an excluded letter.
- michaelt 3y agoPresumably base 32 means 26 letters + 10 digits - 4 banned letters So adding an excluded letter is not easy.
- sokoloff 3y agoWhy not use base-31 and (optionally) more characters? (Or go upper and lower or add a symbol if you had to stay with a fixed-size and base-32 for some reason)
- chipsa 3y agoBecause Base32 is just bit shifting and then converting the 5 bits into a char, and vice versa. Doing Base31 requires base conversion.
- manquer 3y agoWouldn’t that be excluded because i is already removed ?
