Show HN: Generate Passwords from Regex Constraints
- forgotpwd16 10mo agoHeh, cool concept. Could maybe add some interactive configuration common password gen tools have like choose length, characters used (upper, lower, numbers, symbols) so people not accustomed to regex can play with (and see how for each configuration the regex changes). Your regex-utils library also interesting, especially the set operations part.
- _jzlw 10mo agoOkay, this is kindof incredible. The ability to create a complicated regex from smaller pieces combined in a logical way is insane. This has so many uses. https://github.com/gruhn/regex-utils#comment-regex-using-complement- https://github.com/gruhn/regex-utils#comment-regex-using-com...
- jmlim00 10mo agoNice, wonder if this can integrated into password managers!
- djfobbz 10mo agoWhen I use the following constraints: ^.{6,8}$ [0-9] [A-Z] [a-z] I get: F7o d1A 𑐟Ku9 𑍞4𢗏Rw I𦢺2r I don't think those block chars should be there. Am I missing something?
- ngruhn 10mo agoIt picks characters from the whole unicode range. Those strings should indeed match all regex constraints. You can add a constraint like: ^[\x21-\x7E]*$ To only choose printable ASCII characters. EDIT: no you're right, there is a bug. I would expect random unicode chars but not always the same box.
- ngruhn 10mo agoActually no again, I think the browser can just not render those.
