Random Password Generator in C#.NET

-

This blog is going to illustrate the Random Password Generator in the .NET Framework. The GeneratePassword method is used to generate a random password and is most commonly used for reset password and new or temporary password. It is a very easy to use method.

GeneratePassword() method will generate the password with specific length.

The following is a syntax for GeneratePassword method

public static string GeneratePassword (int length, int numberOfNonAlphanumericCharacters);

Length (int): The password length

numberOfNonAlphanumericCharacters (int): Minimum no. of alphanumeric characters.

The following is a code snippet to generate a random password. Here length and nonAlphaNumeric values are passed to Membership.GeneratePassword() method. And the result has been assigned to the password textbox.

using System.Web.Security;
 
private void GeneratePasswordButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    passwordTextBox.Text =  Membership.GeneratePassword(int.Parse(lengthTextBox.Text), int.Parse(nonAlphaNumTextBox.Text));
}

The following is an output of the above code. The password is generated based on the length and number of alphanumeric characters.

I hope this helps you. Keep coding.

    The System.Web namespace, which includes the System.Web.Security.Membership.GeneratePassword(int length, int numberOfNonAlphanumericCharacters) method referenced in this article, is unsupported in .NET Core & .NET 5+.

    Thank you for your comment and bringing up an important point. You're absolutely right that the System.Web namespace, including the System.Web.Security.Membership.GeneratePassword method, is not supported in .NET Core and .NET 5+.

    You can use the RNGCryptoServiceProvider class to generate a random sequence of characters that can be combined to form a secure password
