A PHP library for generating customizable random passwords with multiple generator types and character requirements.
Password Generator Library is a PHP package that generates random passwords programmatically. It provides multiple generator types with customizable character sets, lengths, and requirements to create secure passwords for applications. The library helps developers implement password generation features without building their own cryptographic logic.
PHP developers building applications that require automated password creation, such as user registration systems, password reset functionality, or security tools.
Developers choose this library for its multiple generation strategies, fine-grained control over password composition, and cryptographically secure random number generation. It eliminates the need to write custom password logic while ensuring compliance with security best practices.
PHP Library to generate random passwords
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Offers four distinct generators (Computer, Hybrid, Human, Requirement) for diverse use cases, from secure random strings to human-readable passwords, as detailed in the README examples.
Uses PHP's random_int function by default for secure randomness, ensuring production-ready security without additional configuration.
Allows precise tuning of character sets, lengths, segment counts, and requirement-based policies, enabling compliance with strict password rules.
Includes HumanPasswordGenerator for creating memorable passwords from word lists, though it requires external file setup as shown in usage.
RequirementPasswordGenerator can enter infinite loops if minimum/maximum counts are unachievable, forcing manual validation with validLimits()—a pitfall highlighted in the README.
HumanPasswordGenerator relies on user-provided word list files (e.g., /usr/share/dict/words), adding setup complexity and portability issues without built-in defaults.
Provides basic usage examples but lacks comprehensive API references or troubleshooting guides, which may require digging into source code for advanced use.
