    Auto generate numbers and letters as password

    Hi,

    Newbie here...I need help on how to auto generate numbers and letters (mixed) as password for users.

    I have column for username, firstname, lastname and password in Excel. How can I autogenerate numbers and letters in the password column??I have searched and I found out how to generate numbers and letters but not mixed. Maybe 3 letters and 3 numbers as passwor. Thank you in advance..

    If there's already an existing thread for this please let me know and if this is OT also.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You might try this.

    =CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&RANDBETWEEN(20,500)&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&RANDBETWEEN(20,500)&CHAR(RANDBETWEEN(65,90))&RANDBETWEEN(20,500)

    If you want special characters (i.e. ~ ! @ , etc.) change the "65,90" values to say "33,150".

    However, why reinvent the wheel when there are so many freely available password generators you can download?
