Create a random token in Javascript based on user details

Question

I want to create a random string (token) which can be used to identify a user whilst avoiding any potential conflicts with any other users\' tokens.

What I was thinking

Answer 1

You could generate a random number and convert it to base 36 (0-9a-z):

var rand = function() {
    return Math.random().toString(36).substr(2); // remove `0.`
};

var token = function() {
    return rand() + rand(); // to make it longer
};

token(); // "bnh5yzdirjinqaorq0ox1tf383nb3xr"
