我再加上一个不明智的答案。

我有一个用例，我需要机器-机器通信的随机密码，所以我对人类的可读性没有任何要求。我也没有会员资格。GeneratePassword在我的项目，并不想添加依赖。

我相当肯定会员资格。GeneratePassword做的事情与此类似，但是在这里您可以调整要从中绘制的字符池。

public static class PasswordGenerator
{
    private readonly static Random _rand = new Random();

    public static string Generate(int length = 24)
    {
        const string lower = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
        const string upper = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
        const string number = "1234567890";
        const string special = "!@#$%^&*_-=+";

        // Get cryptographically random sequence of bytes
        var bytes = new byte[length];
        new RNGCryptoServiceProvider().GetBytes(bytes);

        // Build up a string using random bytes and character classes
        var res = new StringBuilder();
        foreach(byte b in bytes)
        {
            // Randomly select a character class for each byte
            switch (_rand.Next(4))
            {
                // In each case use mod to project byte b to the correct range
                case 0:
                    res.Append(lower[b % lower.Count()]);
                    break;
                case 1:
                    res.Append(upper[b % upper.Count()]);
                    break;
                case 2:
                    res.Append(number[b % number.Count()]);
                    break;
                case 3:
                    res.Append(special[b % special.Count()]);
                    break;
            }
        }
        return res.ToString();
    }
}

以及一些示例输出:

PasswordGenerator.Generate(12)
"pzY=64@-ChS$"
"BG0OsyLbYnI_"
"l9#5^2&adj_i"
"#++Ws9d$%O%X"
"IWhdIN-#&O^s"

为了消除对使用Random的抱怨:随机性的主要来源仍然是加密RNG。即使你可以确定地预先确定随机产生的序列(假设它只产生1)，你仍然不知道下一个被选中的字符(尽管这会限制可能性的范围)。

一个简单的扩展是为不同的字符集添加权重，这就像提高最大值和添加下降情况来增加权重一样简单。

switch (_rand.Next(6))
{
    // Prefer letters 2:1
    case 0:
    case 1:
        res.Append(lower[b % lower.Count()]);
        break;
    case 2:
    case 3:
        res.Append(upper[b % upper.Count()]);
        break;
    case 4:
        res.Append(number[b % number.Count()]);
        break;
    case 5:
        res.Append(special[b % special.Count()]);
        break;
}

对于一个更人性化的随机密码生成器，我曾经使用EFF骰子字列表实现了一个提示系统。

public string GenerateToken(int length)
{
    using (RNGCryptoServiceProvider cryptRNG = new RNGCryptoServiceProvider())
    {
        byte[] tokenBuffer = new byte[length];
        cryptRNG.GetBytes(tokenBuffer);
        return Convert.ToBase64String(tokenBuffer);
    }
}

(你也可以让这个方法所在的类实现IDisposable，持有对RNGCryptoServiceProvider的引用，并正确地处理它，以避免重复实例化它。)

It's been noted that as this returns a base-64 string, the output length is always a multiple of 4, with the extra space using = as a padding character. The length parameter specifies the length of the byte buffer, not the output string (and is therefore perhaps not the best name for that parameter, now I think about it). This controls how many bytes of entropy the password will have. However, because base-64 uses a 4-character block to encode each 3 bytes of input, if you ask for a length that's not a multiple of 3, there will be some extra "space", and it'll use = to fill the extra.

If you don't like using base-64 strings for any reason, you can replace the Convert.ToBase64String() call with either a conversion to regular string, or with any of the Encoding methods; eg. Encoding.UTF8.GetString(tokenBuffer) - just make sure you pick a character set that can represent the full range of values coming out of the RNG, and that produces characters that are compatible with wherever you're sending or storing this. Using Unicode, for example, tends to give a lot of Chinese characters. Using base-64 guarantees a widely-compatible set of characters, and the characteristics of such a string shouldn't make it any less secure as long as you use a decent hashing algorithm.

public string CreatePassword(int length)
{
        const string valid = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890";
        StringBuilder res = new StringBuilder();
        Random rnd = new Random();
        while (0 < length--)
        {
            res.Append(valid[rnd.Next(valid.Length)]);
        }
        return res.ToString();
}

这有一个很好的好处，可以从可用的字符列表中选择生成的密码(例如，仅数字，仅大写或仅小写等)。

我使用此代码生成密码与字母，数字和非字母数字字符的平衡组合。

public static string GeneratePassword(int Length, int NonAlphaNumericChars)
    {
        string allowedChars = "abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
        string allowedNonAlphaNum = "!@#$%^&*()_-+=[{]};:<>|./?";
        string pass = "";
        Random rd = new Random(DateTime.Now.Millisecond);
        for (int i = 0; i < Length; i++)
        {
            if (rd.Next(1) > 0 && NonAlphaNumericChars > 0)
            {
                pass += allowedNonAlphaNum[rd.Next(allowedNonAlphaNum.Length)];
                NonAlphaNumericChars--;
            }
            else
            {
                pass += allowedChars[rd.Next(allowedChars.Length)];
            }
        }
        return pass;
    }

我一直对KeePass内置的密码生成器非常满意。因为KeePass是一个。net程序，而且是开源的，所以我决定深入研究一下它的代码。最后，我只是在我的项目中引用了标准应用程序安装中提供的KeePass.exe副本，并编写了下面的代码。多亏了KeePass，你可以看到它是多么灵活。你可以指定长度，包含/不包含哪些字符，等等。

using KeePassLib.Cryptography.PasswordGenerator;
using KeePassLib.Security;


public static string GeneratePassword(int passwordLength, bool lowerCase, bool upperCase, bool digits,
        bool punctuation, bool brackets, bool specialAscii, bool excludeLookAlike)
    {
        var ps = new ProtectedString();
        var profile = new PwProfile();
        profile.CharSet = new PwCharSet();
        profile.CharSet.Clear();

        if (lowerCase)
            profile.CharSet.AddCharSet('l');
        if(upperCase)
            profile.CharSet.AddCharSet('u');
        if(digits)
            profile.CharSet.AddCharSet('d');
        if (punctuation)
            profile.CharSet.AddCharSet('p');
        if (brackets)
            profile.CharSet.AddCharSet('b');
        if (specialAscii)
            profile.CharSet.AddCharSet('s');

        profile.ExcludeLookAlike = excludeLookAlike;
        profile.Length = (uint)passwordLength;
        profile.NoRepeatingCharacters = true;

        KeePassLib.Cryptography.PasswordGenerator.PwGenerator.Generate(out ps, profile, null, _pool);

        return ps.ReadString();
    }

使用Random和linq-to-objects来要求每个组都有一个很简单的方法。

随机分组 从第一组中选择随机金额 从以下组中选择剩余的随机金额

Random rand = new Random();
int min = 8;
int max = 16;
int totalLen = rand.Next(min, max);
int remainingGroups = 4;
                
string[] allowedLowerChars = "a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k,l,m,n,o,p,q,r,s,t,u,v,w,x,y,z".Split(',');           
string [] allowedUpperChars = "A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H,I,J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,W,X,Y,Z".Split(',');
string [] allowedNumbers = "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0".Split(',');
string [] allowedSpecialChars = "!,@,#,$,%,&,?".Split(',');


var password = allowedLowerChars.OrderBy(c => rand.Next()).Take(rand.Next(1, totalLen-remainingGroups--)).ToList();
password.AddRange(allowedUpperChars.OrderBy(c => rand.Next()).Take(rand.Next(1, totalLen-password.Count-remainingGroups--)).ToList());
password.AddRange(allowedNumbers.OrderBy(c => rand.Next()).Take(rand.Next(1, totalLen-password.Count-remainingGroups--)).ToList());
password.AddRange(allowedSpecialChars.OrderBy(c => rand.Next()).Take(totalLen-password.Count).ToList());
password = password.OrderBy(c => rand.Next()).ToList(); // randomize groups
