in thread Please Review First Program: Random Password Generator

I did orignally intend to replace all my current web passwords with randomly generated passwords. However, after doing the research to create this script I did realize that it'd not be ideal to do so (unless I wanted to refer to some file containing all my passwords every time one was needed). Though I no longer needed a random generator, I still had the program idea in mind and went forth anyways. It's definitely a great learning experience.

I guess at this point I'd only implement this to generate initial passwords for new accounts of somekind. Although, most likely I'd use a much simpler script like your suggestion or the one suggested by BrowserUk.

Thank you for your input and reference. Though at this point, security is not a huge priority of mine, it's good to know I have a starting point when that time comes.
