I noticed my email client turned WP-generated passwords into email links, because they contained a ‘@’ symbol. That’s annoying.
Is there a way to exclude ‘@’ from password generation?
I see the function is here:
function wp_generate_password($length = 12, $special_chars = true) {
$chars = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789';
if ( $special_chars )
$chars .= '!@#$%^&*()';
$password = '';
for ( $i = 0; $i < $length; $i++ )
$password .= substr($chars, wp_rand(0, strlen($chars) - 1), 1);
return $password;
}
So can you turn off the special_chars somewhere in an admin area? Or could I turn ‘true’ to ‘false’?
I’ll remove the @ anyway…
