Password Generator - Module for Joomla!
This module is designed to quickly generate passwords with various combinations of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and special characters. The length of the password can be set up to 20 characters, and up to 30 passwords can be generated per generation process.
In Easy mode, the module generates easy-to-remember passwords that consist of a random number of alternating consonants and vowels and are padded with an arbitrary number of numbers. The numbers are added at the end and randomly in the middle of the password.
A Safe mode has also been implemented, which ensures that at least two characters of all four possibilities (upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) are used during generation. This version also includes an improved output.

If you encounter an error message related to the token, download the Pro version with your Pro subscription from the linked download page and install it again!
