password generator - how to create a template for password which MUST contain something

avatar

Hi,
I'm using Remote Desktop Manager 10.9.3.0.
Quite often I use the build-in password generator.
In our company the password policy is that we must have minimum 8 digits, minimum one upper letter , minimum one lower letter and minimum one digit.
How to set up this in this password generator?
I checked these first three things and get assortment. But not all of these passwords contains all these three 'MUST to have'.

How can I get this?
Thanks and Regards
-Stefan

Hi Stefan
I use this generator as well. But I don't seem to have any issues.
I'm on version 10.5.4.0

What version are you running and could you maybe post screen-dump to show example.

Hi Brandur,
attached a snapshot which shows the settings I use.

As you can see the marked password have no digit. I had this problem within 10.5.4.0 too.
How can I get a set of passwords which have all my requirements (described in the first entry) ?

Regards

You are right.
If I use the same options as you in my RDM client, I also get PW combinations that don't contain any numbers.
I usually use several other options and etc. So I have never noticed this error before.

I have no doubt that someone at Devolution will take a look when they have the time.
Good(and important) catch :)

I don't think the PW generator respects some of the options as mandatory but random.
Upper/Lower-case (AFAICS) is always respected as mandatory but all the other options are random.

Hopefully this will be addressed sooner then later.

My logic would be as following:
If I have checkmarked [Special], then there should be minimum one special character. But if I wanted minimum two special characters in every generated PW, than that should be an option for this(and for all other options).

I don't know if that makes sense? My logic isn't always "that" logic ;)

Hi,
You are right we allow a list of chars but we don't have the minimal for each type of char. I will enter a feature request for that.

Super.
I(and hopefully @Stefan as well) will test as soon as it's available.
Thank you.
