To generate a password using LeoCorpLibrary, you must include this line of code on top of your code file:

C#

using LeoCorpLibrary;

VB

Imports LeoCorpLibrary

To generate a password, you need to call the Generate() method, in:

To generate multiple passwords you need to call this method, in.

LeoCorpLibrary.Password.GenerateAmount()

It returns a List<string> value. This method has two variations.

This method is available in version 3.7 and higher.

This method has a few parameters:

Here's an example of usage:

C#

List<string> passwords = Password.GenerateAmount(20, 10, "a,b,c,d", ",");

for (int i = 0; i < passwords.Count; i++) // For each password
{
    Console.WriteLine(passwords[i]); // Print password in console
}

VB

Dim passwords As List(Of String) = Password.GenerateAmount(20, 10, "a,b,c,d", ",")

For i As Integer = 0 To passwords.Count - 1 ' For each password
    Console.WriteLine(passwords(i)) ' Print password in console
Next

Go to top

This method is available in version 3.7 and higher.

This method has a few parameters:

Here's an example of usage:

C#

List<string> passwords = Password.GenerateAmount(20, 10, PasswordPresets.Complex);

for (int i = 0; i < passwords.Count; i++) // For each password
{
    Console.WriteLine(passwords[i]); // Print password in console
}

VB

Dim passwords As List(Of String) = Password.GenerateAmount(20, 10, PasswordPresets.Complex)

For i As Integer = 0 To passwords.Count - 1 ' For each password
    Console.WriteLine(passwords(i)) ' Print password in console

This method is available in version 3.8 and higher.

The GetPasswordStrength() method allows you to evaluate a password's strength using Passliss' standards. It returns a PasswordStrength enum.

It's in:

LeoCorpLibrary.Password.GetPasswordStrength() {...}

It has one argument:

Here's an example of usage:

C#

string[] passwords =
{
	"Ifhi2ztbg1",
	"pars132",
	"Lo8_n0D",
	"uifVyuiVVH_çVIvc",
	"gygYUI4"
};
		
List<PasswordStrength> forces = new List<PasswordStrength>();
		
for (int i = 0; i < passwords.Length; i++)
{
	forces.Add(Password.GetPasswordStrength(passwords[i]));
}

/* 
forces' content:
Medium
Low
Good
VeryGood
Medium
*/

VB

Dim passwords As String() = {"Ifhi2ztbg1", "pars132", "Lo8_n0D", "uifVyuiVVH_çVIvc", "gygYUI4"}

Dim forces As List(Of PasswordStrength) = New List(Of PasswordStrength)()

For i As Integer = 0 To passwords.Length - 1
    forces.Add(Password.GetPasswordStrength(passwords(i)))
Next
' forces' content:
' Medium
' Low
' Good
' VeryGood
' Medium

This enumeration is available in version 3.8 and higher.

The PasswordStrength enumeration can be equal to:

• Low
• Medium
• Good
