My thoughts
1) OOTB that function will give password between 8 to 12
2) if you want to increase to 16 then you will have to update the OOTB script include -> Not recommended way
Another way is to use that script and use directly and then enhance to generate between 8 to 16
something like this
function insertCharacterAtIndex(str, c, idx) {
return (str.slice(0, idx) + c + str.slice(idx));
}
var encr = new GlideEncrypter();
var specialCharacters = " !\"#$%'()*+,-./:;=?@[\\]^_`{|}~";
var secureRandom = GlideSecureRandomUtil;
// Decide number of special characters you want (e.g. 3)
var numSpecialCharacters = secureRandom.getSecureRandomIntBound(3) + 1; // 1-3 special characters
var pwdBaseLength = 16 - numSpecialCharacters; // so final length is 16
var newPwd = secureRandom.getSecureRandomString(pwdBaseLength);
for (var i = 0; i < numSpecialCharacters; i++) {
var idx = secureRandom.getSecureRandomIntBound(newPwd.length + 1); // insert in any position
var c = specialCharacters.charAt(secureRandom.getSecureRandomIntBound(specialCharacters.length));
newPwd = insertCharacterAtIndex(newPwd, c, idx);
}
var encrString = encr.encrypt(newPwd);
workflow.scratchpad.pass = encrString;
var decrString = encr.decrypt(encrString);Output:
