How to create a very strong password

[SandSpur]

Since there have been some recent attempts to hack into other people's profiles, it's a good idea to reset your password to ensure you don't get hacked.

You may have seen me post this tut on another topic, but that was bugged, so I removed it. This one runs perfectly.


Requirements:

• A copy-paste function (optional, but recommended)
• The ability to run Batch files

Step 1: Open Notepad or some other text editor.

Step 2: Enter the below code into Notepad:

@Echo Off
:Generate Password
Setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion
Set _RNDLength=8
Set _Alphanumeric=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789!@#$%&)(-_=+][}{\|'";:/?.,
Set _Str=%_Alphanumeric%987654321
:_LenLoop
IF NOT "%_Str:~18%"=="" SET _Str=%_Str:~9%& SET /A _Len+=9& GOTO :_LenLoop
SET _tmp=%_Str:~9,1%
SET /A _Len=_Len+_tmp
Set _count=0
SET _RndAlphaNum=
:_loop
Set /a _count+=1
SET _RND=%Random%
Set /A _RND=_RND%%%_Len%
SET _RndAlphaNum=!_RndAlphaNum!!_Alphanumeric:~%_RND%,1!
If !_count! lss %_RNDLength% goto _loop
Echo Enjoy your Password: !_RndAlphaNum!
endlocal
PAUSE
goto :Generate Password

Step 3: Save the file as Password Generator.bat or whatever name you want. Just be sure to keep .bat at the end.

Step 4: Open the newly created batch file

Step 5: Copy the code it generates and put it somewhere. I recommend somewhere deep in your hidden folders so a virus/keylogger/hacker/douche can't get to it easily. (optional)

Step 6: Change your password to the generated code

Important notes:
Note 1: the lines ":Generate Password" and "goto :Generate Password" are optional and are only necessary if you want multiple tries at getting a good, memorable password.
Note 2: Some forums/sites do not allow some symbols. To remove symbols, just remove !@#$%&)(-_=+][}{\|'";:/?., from the 5th line.
Note 3: Most of the credit for the code goes to TheOutcaste on TechGuy forums
Note 4: If you want to edit the length of the generated password, change the number after "Set _RNDLength=" to whatever you want
Note 5: For help in creating an even stronger password, enter your password here and edit it for extra strength (optional)
Note 6: If you're getting the "You've exceeded the maximum number of login attempts" message for no reason, please report it to me so we can get to the bottom of it!

The coding doesn't work either.

What do you mean it doesn't work? I've tested this multiple times.

[RedFaceofAwesomeness]

It just pops up for a millisecond and then it terminates.

[SandSpur]

Your right, my bad. I included symbols that Batch doesn't like on accident.
It's fixed now.

I can't get it to work D=, should it run in Notepad++?

[SandSpur]

It shouldn't matter what text editor you use.
make sure you're using the updated code I just submitted.

It works now, I don't know what was wrong the first time =/ Thanks bro

[RedFaceofAwesomeness]

Yep thanks mate.
Now I will have alot of random passwords.
