鉴于：

chars = [*('a'..'z'),*('0'..'9')].flatten

可以作为参数传递的单个表达式允许重复字符：

Array.new(len) { chars.sample }.join

下面是一个长度为8的随机密码的简单代码：

rand_password=('0'..'z').to_a.shuffle.first(8).join

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

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

我认为这是简洁、清晰和易于修改的良好平衡。

characters = ('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a
# Prior to 1.9, use .choice, not .sample
(0..8).map{characters.sample}.join

易于修改

例如，包括数字：

characters = ('a'..'z').to_a + ('A'..'Z').to_a + (0..9).to_a

十六进制大写：

characters = ('A'..'F').to_a + (0..9).to_a

对于一系列真正令人印象深刻的角色：

characters = (32..126).to_a.pack('U*').chars.to_a
