I'm trying to create random passwords for users, but there is no random function.

 

Yes I can use input.var = zoho.currenttime.toLong()00; to generate something similar based on time, but try running this serveral times rapidly to choose characters in a list and you'll get similar numbers.

Just as a test I tried:

 

 random1 = (zoho.currenttime.toLong()  %  1000);
    random2 = (zoho.currenttime.toLong()  %  1000);
    random3 = (zoho.currenttime.toLong()  %  1000);
    random4 = (zoho.currenttime.toLong()  %  1000);
    random5= (zoho.currenttime.toLong()  %  1000);
    info random1 + " " + random2 + " " +random3 + " " + random4 + " " + random5;

which produced 299,299,299,299,299,300

I can't used this to generate characters.

 

As an alternative I figured I'd put a thousand random passwords in a table (this doesn't nead to be truely secure) and use the 3 digit value to choose buy record (row) number, but I can't find a rowno() function.

 

I could build yet another function but there should be a better way.

 

Any ideas?
