[Enhancement] Add random string generator #26

Open SimonKocurek opened 2 years ago

SimonKocurek commented 2 years ago

Feature would be useful for generating passwords. Example implementation: https://www.random.org/strings/

@SimonKocurek Thank you for your issue!!!

That's interesting. But I think this feature would be somewhat difficult to implement due to security concerns. For example, I can't be responsible for the possibility of this tool generating weak passwords. The site you showed uses "atmospheric noise" for generation, which is hard to predict. I think it would be difficult to mimic this in DevToys for mac.

You can call it random string instead of password generator. If you need to create temporary password, a random string with numbers and special characters and a decent length is more than enough. It's the responsibility of the user to create a string that matches his expectations.

This future would be very cool. I often use it for testing purposes if I need to check some field with length requirements.
