Password generator
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Create a password generation program which will generate passwords containing random ASCII characters from the following groups:
lower-case letters: a ──► z upper-case letters: A ──► Z digits: 0 ──► 9 other printable characters: !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~ (the above character list excludes white-space, backslash and grave)
The generated password(s) must include at least one (of each of the four groups):
lower-case letter, upper-case letter, digit (numeral), and one "other" character.
The user must be able to specify the password length and the number of passwords to generate.
The passwords should be displayed or written to a file, one per line.
The randomness should be from a system source or library.
The program should implement a help option or button which should describe the program and options when invoked.
You may also allow the user to specify a seed value, and give the option of excluding visually similar characters.
For example: Il1 O0 5S 2Z where the characters are:
- capital eye, lowercase ell, the digit one
- capital oh, the digit zero
- the digit five, capital ess
- the digit two, capital zee
6502 Assembly
Unfortunately, easy6502 cannot display text, but it does have a random number generator, so this example merely contains the logic for generating the password itself. The screen can only display colored pixels, and the top 4 bytes are masked off, so this is just a visual aid to show the process in action. The X register is loaded with the password's length (in this case, 20 characters, not counting the null terminator.)

8086 Assembly
This program runs under MS-DOS. The number and length of passwords are given as command line arguments,
and there are command line options /E
(to exclude Il1 O0 5S 2Z
from the
passwords), and /S
(to set the seed for the RNG, without this option the system time is used).
Help is printed when no arguments are given.

Haskell
The password generation process.
The function password
for given length and a list of char sets which should be included, generates random password.
import Control.Monad
import Control.Monad.Random
import Data.List
password :: MonadRandom m => [String] -> Int -> m String
password charSets n = do
parts <- getPartition n
chars <- zipWithM replicateM parts (uniform <$> charSets)
shuffle (concat chars)
where
getPartition n = adjust <$> replicateM (k-1) (getRandomR (1, n `div` k))
k = length charSets
adjust p = (n - sum p) : p
shuffle :: (Eq a, MonadRandom m) => [a] -> m [a]
shuffle [] = pure []
shuffle lst = do
x <- uniform lst
xs <- shuffle (delete x lst)
return (x : xs)
For example:
λ> password ["abcxyz","123"] 10 "x3b1y2ac3z" λ> replicateM 5 (password ["abcxyz","123","#!"] 8) ["y!b#zyx2","xzcx!1xb","3zcax#aa","!ca1a2c#","#21a#zyc"]

M2000 Interpreter
Using COMMODORE's BASIC
Although M2000 has OOP, lambda functions as a modern language,can operate like BASIC. Here there a Commodore Basic program converted for M2000. Also we set 40X25 character mode.
The For Next for M2000 works every timem so For i=1 to 0: print i: next i execute twice. So to make it like BASIC we have to use an if before to skip For. There is a special switch for M2000 Interpreter to set For loop exactly like basic. Gere we don't have a case which skip the for loop. So I leave it as is. The problem from Commodore Basic was a Goto 110 on line 145. This goto do an exit from For loop. So ffor M2000 this has to be Exit For 100 (which reqind an internal stack for for loops and then do the loop). M2000 has another for loop using curly braces, and there we can use goto to jumn out of loop without exit for statement.

Setting Orange day 48 of The Aftermath YOLD 3184.
It is distributed under the terms of the GNU GPL (v3)
As published by the free software foundation.
Usage :-
Without any command line arguments this program
will display 8 8-character long completely random passwords using
all 96 available character glyphs from the basic ascii set.
With a single integer numerical argument it will
produce eight passwords of the chosen length.
With a second integer numerical argument between 1 and 65536 it
will produce that number of passwords.
With two integer arguments the first is taken as the length of password
and the second as the number of passwords to produce.
The length of passwords can also be specified using -l or --length options
The number of passwords can also be specified using -n or --number options
It is also possible to exclude those glyphs which are simmilar enough to be
confused (e.g. O and 0) using the -e or --exclude option
There are also the standard -a --about and -h --help options
Other options will produce an error message and the program will halt without
producing any passwords at all.

function New-RandomPassword
{
<#
.SYNOPSIS
Generates one or more passwords.
.DESCRIPTION
Generates one or more passwords.
.PARAMETER Length
The password length (default = 8).
.PARAMETER Count
The number of passwords to generate.
.PARAMETER Source
An array of strings containing characters from which the password will be generated. The default is good for most uses.
.PARAMETER ExcludeSimilar

REXX
This REXX code was written as generically and idiomatically as possible so that the special characters and
the lowercase and uppercase alphabets may be extended with letters from other alphabets.
This REXX version supports specifying a seed for the random BIF, as well as specification of characters
to not to be used for the password.
This version isn't restricted to ASCII characters, it also supports EBCDIC as well.
It has a REXX statement (as a comment) to support the writing of the generated passwords to a file.
The documentation (help) could be expanded greatly, but only an abridged version is included here to keep
this REXX example relatively small for this Rosetta Code task.
Also, much more error checking should be added; not the least of it would be:
- if too many arguments specified (on the command line)
- checking if the (random) seed is valid
- better (informative) error messages (more verbose)
- don't let the user generate a gazillion passwords
- checking if the hexadecimal literal (yyy) is valid
- checking (for instance) if all digits were excluded via the xxx and/or yyy option

Swift
Swift uses arc4random() to generate fast and high quality random numbers. However the usage of a user defined seed is not possible within arc4random(). To fulfill the requirements this code uses the C functions srand() and rand() that are integrated into the Swift file via an Bridging-Header.
C file to generate random numbers
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
void initRandom(const unsigned int seed){
if(seed==0){
srand((unsigned) time(NULL));
}
else{
srand(seed);
}
}
int getRand(const int upperBound){
return rand() % upperBound;
}
Bridging-Header to include C file into Swift
int getRand(const int upperBound);
void initRandom(const unsigned int seed);

This program generates up to 99 passwords of between 5 and 20 characters in
length.
You will be prompted for the values of all parameters when the program is run
- there are no command line options to memorize.
The passwords can either be written to the console or to a file (pwds.txt),
or both.
The passwords must contain at least one each of the following character types:
lower-case letters : a -> z
upper-case letters : A -> Z
digits : 0 -> 9
other characters : !"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~
Optionally, a seed can be set for the random generator
(any non-zero number) otherwise the default seed will be used.
Even if the same seed is set, the passwords won't necessarily be exactly
the same on each run as additional random shuffles are always performed.
You can also specify that various sets of visually similar characters
will be excluded (or not) from the passwords, namely: Il1 O0 5S 2Z
Finally, the only command line options permitted are -h and -help which
will display this page and then exit.
Any other command line parameters will simply be ignored and the program
will be run normally.

Put the following code into a file (such as pwdg.zkl):
var pwdLen=10, pwds=1, xclude="";
argh:=Utils.Argh(
L("+xclude","","Don't use these characters",fcn(arg){ xclude=arg }),
L("+len","","Number of characters in password", fcn(arg){ pwdLen=arg.toInt() } ),
L("+num","","Number of passwords to generate", fcn(arg){ pwds=arg.toInt() } ),
);
try{ argh.parse(vm.arglist) }catch{ System.exit(1) }
isd:='wrap(w){ w.pump(String) - xclude }; // iterator to String
g1,g2,g3 := isd(["a".."z"]), isd(["A".."Z"]), isd(["0".."9"]);
g4:="!\"#$%&'()*+,-./:;<=>?@[]^_{|}~" - xclude;
all:=String(g1,g2,g3,g4);
fcn rnd(s){ s[(0).random(s.len())] } // pick a random character from s
// generate random characters of filler needed to complete password
fill:=(pwdLen-4).pump.fp(String,rnd.fp(all)); // a deferred/pending calculation
do(numPwds){
// Data is byte bucket (and editor). I can shuffle a Data but not a String.
pwd:=T(g1,g2,g3,g4).pump(Data,rnd); // 1 from each of these into a Data
pwd.extend(fill()).shuffle().text.println();
}
This is a command line program so output can be redirected.
