Add automatic password generation #111

Closed jairideout closed 11 years ago

jairideout commented 11 years ago

We need a way to auto-generate passwords so that users can access their personal results. We'll also need to keep track of these passwords in case users forget them.

Just something that @gregcaporaso suggested for the passwords yesterday: passwords should all be lowercase and alphanumeric, no special characters or anything that could be confusing.

jairideout commented 11 years ago

We'd want both uppercase and lowercase letters as possibilities I think (@gregcaporaso, please correct me if I'm wrong).

gregcaporaso commented 11 years ago

Yeah, uppercase and lowercase plus numerics, but not special symbols. Variable length between 8 and 12 is also a good idea. That's what you did as far as I can tell from the code.

jairideout commented 11 years ago

Yep, that's what the current code does.
