I converted this to a udf but it's not any faster. Not really enough
processing to make a difference really.

Subject: Re: automatically generate password

I've not followed this thread entirely, but if generating a good random 
password is still an issue, then I'd go with and idea like Bobby has 
stated, but I'd use a UDF and not a custom tag.

As I've recently become *very* aware of, CFScript is just *way* faster 
than tag based code, especially for something like this.

Check out CFLib.org there are two or three password generators out 
there. One always creates eight character passwords but is free from 
annoying similar looking characters like 1 and l (one and lower-case 
L... just in case). Another generates any length password you want, and 
another generates WEP keys.

Here's a link to the first one I mentioned called Make Password 
<http://www.cflib.org/udf.cfm?ID=437>.

Cheers,
Chris
