Do you know how to get it to generate different passwords consecutively? If I generate one and can't use it for some reason, it needs to generate something different, but instead, it generates the same one. I tried with delays anywhere from two seconds to ten minutes, and they are still all the same.
Can this please be updated to be compatible with Windows projects? (As mentioned by Nabeel and Reiner below)
Not Compatibale with newer version of .Net framework.
NU1202: Package UiPathTeam.GenerateRandomPassword.Activities 1.0.4 is not compatible with net6.0-windows7.0 (.NETCoreApp,Version=v6.0). Package UiPathTeam.GenerateRandomPassword.Activities 1.0.4 supports: net452 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.5.2)
No longer compatible with UiPath upgrade to Windows .Net 5.0+
Hi Sorin Calin,
Its generating output as String. If you could change output type of Secure String then it will be more secure. Could you please change it in future versions.
Thanks for the feedback Richard. I don't plan on releasing updates to it anytime soon, so if you require the output to be directly a SecureString, feel free to fork the code here and adapt it to your needs:

How to avoid generated password for e.g. sEX9snidT (this password is quite inappropriate password)
Just define your list of inappropriate passwords and run the activity in a loop until the output doesn't match or partially match any of them.
Can we use this for production environment without any issue?
Hello, How can I not allow any special characters in the password? I tried inputing " " but the space is included in the password. "" does not work too.
Thanks!
Hi,
You can put some non-special characters there instead, like "A", and it should work. You can see the implementation here:
https://github.com/sorincalin/UiPathTeam.GenerateRandomPassword.Activities/blob/master/UiPathTeam.GenerateRandomPassword.Activities/GenerateRandomPassword.cs
Best regards,
Sorin
Hi,
How to input special characters more than one in "Allowed special characters" in-argument.
I try but it shows error : End of expression expected.
Allowed special characters expects a String. So you just need to type all the special characters you want as a string. You probably have included the double-qoute character, which require escaping. For example, below, the - " - is escaped by using another " before it:
"""@#$%^>|\"
hi, how to add password expiry date?
This activity generates a string and a string does not have an expiry date https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.string?view=netframework-4.8
where can i find generate random password yellow highlited box one in middle.which one you have used from activity?
That "highlighted box" is the actual activity you are inquiring about. This is how basic activities without a user interface look like in UiPath Studio.
Did you install the package? If not, the documentation for this is here (and also on the details page of every activity on Go!):
https://dmtyylqvwgyxw.cloudfront.net/instances/214/assets/help-guides/UiPath-Go-Installation-Guide-Custom-Activities.pdf
If you already installed the package, you can simply search in Studio in the Activities panel for "Password" and you should find the activity.

already answered: that's the actual activity you are looking for and you should follow the installation steps first.
