Where is the autogenerated password generated?

Question

In the admin area, there is the "Send auto-generated password" checkbox in the customer area. Where is the corresponding function for that so I can modify it?

Thanks!

Answer 1

hi goto app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/CustomerController.php and then goto it saveAction function and then got empty($data['account']['new_password']) condition there magento check is check box checked or not then generate password by generatePassword function

If you want to auto generate password by

generatePassword() of object of class Mage_Customer_Model_Customer_Model

Answer 2

Take a look at Mage_Customer_Model_Customer

/**
 * Retrieve random password
 *
 * @param   int $length
 * @return  string
 */
public function generatePassword($length = 8)
{
    $chars = Mage_Core_Helper_Data::CHARS_PASSWORD_LOWERS
        . Mage_Core_Helper_Data::CHARS_PASSWORD_UPPERS
        . Mage_Core_Helper_Data::CHARS_PASSWORD_DIGITS
        . Mage_Core_Helper_Data::CHARS_PASSWORD_SPECIALS;
    return Mage::helper('core')->getRandomString($length, $chars);
}
