Specify character list

[poxin13]

I have a specific requirement where in I can only use certain special characters. Is there anyway to specify what ones will be used when generating a password?

Another odd requirement is my first character must be alphanumeric, but I can do this after with substr.

There is one main way to do it.
I'm assuming that we are talking about the ComputerPasswordGenerator

https://github.com/hackzilla/password-generator/blob/master/Generator/ComputerPasswordGenerator.php#L26

  $generator = (new ComputerPasswordGenerator())->setParameter(self::PARAMETER_UPPER_CASE, 'AZ')

or you can extend ComputerPasswordGenerator and override the constructor with your own config.

Apologies, should have specified I'm using the RequirementPasswordGenerator. It's come in pretty handy as applications we use have very specific password requirements.

It'll be the same with RequirementPasswordGenerator, as that extends ComputerPasswordGenerator anyway.

If you override the contractor you will need to call the parent.

class MyPasswordGenerator extends RequirementPasswordGenerator
{
    /**
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this
            ->setParameter(self::PARAMETER_UPPER_CASE, 'AZ')
            ->setParameter(self::PARAMETER_LOWER_CASE, 'az')
            ->setParameter(self::PARAMETER_NUMBERS, '0123789')
            ->setParameter(self::PARAMETER_SYMBOLS, '!@+');
    }
}

Using setParameter worked fine, thanks!
