[feature request]: Support generating password in given pattern. #62

Closed huntzhan closed 8 years ago

huntzhan commented 9 years ago

Allow user to input a regular expression, then the program could randomly generate a password with respect to the inputted pattern. For example, allowing user to supply a regular expression [a-z]{3}[0-9]{3}[A-Z]{3}, then the program could generate something like mdj293EIR.

Hi @haoxun. Can you provide a use case for that scenario?

huntzhan commented 9 years ago

In the case that user is familiar a pattern and try to remember some passwords in that pattern, this feature would be helpful.

Thank you for clarification.

Sounds like a good feature,

I use some kind of mental pattern to create my passwords as well.
