这是基于一些其他答案，但它增加了一点复杂性：

def random_password
  specials = ((32..47).to_a + (58..64).to_a + (91..96).to_a + (123..126).to_a).pack('U*').chars.to_a
  numbers  = (0..9).to_a
  alpha    = ('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a
  %w{i I l L 1 O o 0}.each{ |ambiguous_character| 
    alpha.delete ambiguous_character 
  }
  characters = (alpha + specials + numbers)
  password = Random.new.rand(8..18).times.map{characters.sample}
  password << specials.sample unless password.join =~ Regexp.new(Regexp.escape(specials.join))
  password << numbers.sample  unless password.join =~ Regexp.new(Regexp.escape(numbers.join))
  password.shuffle.join
end

本质上，它确保密码长度为8-20个字符，并且至少包含一个数字和一个特殊字符。

使用此方法，您可以传入一个很短的长度。默认设置为6。

def generate_random_string(length=6)
  string = ""
  chars = ("A".."Z").to_a
  length.times do
    string << chars[rand(chars.length-1)]
  end
  string
end

我们一直在代码中使用这个：

class String

  def self.random(length=10)
    ('a'..'z').sort_by {rand}[0,length].join
  end

end

支持的最大长度是25（无论如何，我们只在默认情况下使用它，所以这不是问题）。

有人提到“…”如果你想完全避免产生冒犯性的词语，z是次优的。我们的一个想法是去掉元音，但你最终还是会得到WTFBBQ等。

10.times do 
  alphabet = ('a'..'z').to_a
  string += alpha[rand(alpha.length)]
end

以下内容对我很有用

def generate_random_password(min_length, max_length)
    length = SecureRandom.random_number(max_length - min_length) + min_length
    character_sets = [ 
      ('a'..'z').to_a,
      ('A'..'Z').to_a,
      ('0'..'9').to_a,
      "~!@^&*()_-+=[]|:;<,>.?".split('')
    ]   
    retval = []
    #   
    # Add one character from each set
    #   
    character_sets.each do |character_set|
      character = character_set[SecureRandom.random_number(character_set.count)]
      retval.push character
    end 
    #   
    # Fill the rest of the password with a random character from a random set
    #   
    i = character_sets.count - 1 
    while i < length
      character_set = character_sets[SecureRandom.random_number(character_sets.count)]
      character = character_set[SecureRandom.random_number(character_set.count)]
      retval.push character
      i += 1
    end
    retval.shuffle.join
  end

''.tap {|v| 4.times { v << ('a'..'z').to_a.sample} }
