How can I do this with JavaScript?

I\'ve got the following script, but

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend using a forced password as it restricts the User's Security but any way, there are a few ways of doing it -

Traditional JavaScript Method -

Math.random().toString(36).slice(-8);

Using Random String

Install random string:

npm install randomstring

Using it in App.js -

var randStr = require('randomstring');

var yourString = randStr.generate(8);

The Value of your password is being hold in the variable yourString.

Don't Use A Forced Password!

Forced Password can harm your security as all the passwords would be under the same character set, which might easily be breached!

Answer 2

var letters = ['a','b','c','d','e','f','g','h','i','k','l','m','n','o','p','q','r','s','t','u','v','w','x','y','z'];
    var numbers = [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9];
    var randomstring = '';

        for(var i=0;i<5;i++){
            var rlet = Math.floor(Math.random()*letters.length);
            randomstring += letters[rlet];
        }
        for(var i=0;i<3;i++){
            var rnum = Math.floor(Math.random()*numbers.length);
            randomstring += numbers[rnum];
        }
     alert(randomstring);
