Password Generator

An application to generate a random password based on criteria the user has selected.

Project Requirements

• Generate a password when the button is clicked
  • Present a series of prompts for password criteria
    • Length of password
      • At least 10 characters but no more than 64.
    • Character types
      • Lowercase
      • Uppercase
      • Numeric
      • Special characters ($@%&*, etc)
  • Code should validate for each input and at least one character type should be selected

Functionality

• A passwordOptions class is created to store all user selected options for creating the password.

      class passwordOptions {
          constructor(passwordLength, isMixedCase, isLowerCase, isUpperCase, isNumericCharacters, isSpecialCharacters, hasPasswordOptionsSelected) {
              passwordLength = passwordLength;
              isMixedCase = isMixedCase,
              isLowerCase = isLowerCase,
              isUpperCase = isUpperCase,
              isNumericCharacters = isNumericCharacters,
              isSpecialCharacters = isSpecialCharacters,
              hasPasswordOptionsSelected = hasPasswordOptionsSelected
          }
      }

• Generated password is randomized to alter the order in which the password is generated.

  var generatedPasswordArray = [];
  for (let index = 0; index < generatedPassword.length; index++) {
      generatedPasswordArray.push(generatedPassword[index]);
  }
  var randomizedGeneratedPasswordArray = generatedPasswordArray.sort(function (a, b) { return 0.5 - Math.random() })
  return randomizedGeneratedPasswordArray.join('');

• Default value for length of password has be defined to simplify password generating.

  userPasswordOptions.passwordLength = parseInt(prompt("How long would you like your password to be?", 14));

• Mixed Cases option has been added to simplify the user requiring to select both Lower and Upper cases

    if (userPasswordOptions.passwordLength >= 10 && userPasswordOptions.passwordLength <= 64) {
       userPasswordOptions.isMixedCase = confirm("Would you like your password to consist of Mixed cases?");
  
      if (userPasswordOptions.isMixedCase != true) {
          userPasswordOptions.isLowerCase = confirm("Include Lowercase characters?");
          userPasswordOptions.isUpperCase = confirm("Include Uppercase characters?");
      }
      ....

• Added functionality to reuse previously selected password options if application is still running.

   if (userPasswordOptions.hasPasswordOptionsSelected == true) {
      usePreviousOptions = confirm("Would you like to use previously selected options?");
  }
