Paste Random String Command
Purpose
The Paste Random String command is used to insert a 10-character string of random characters at the insertion point.
To paste a random string into the notes information
- Place the insertion point at the location in the notes information where you want to paste the random string, or select the text you want to replace.
- From the Edit menu, choose Paste Random String.
- If there is already selected text in the notes information, it is replaced by a 10-character random string. Otherwise, the string is inserted at the cursor position.
The random string consists of 10 characters randomly selected from the
ASCII range between ! (ASCII code 33) and ~
(ASCII code 126) inclusive (in other words, all printable ASCII characters).
You can use this feature to generate random passwords. Use this command
in succession to create longer strings. You can delete or change
the characters that you do not want to use.
Note that this is a basic random generator, not suitable for strong cryptographic passwords, so the generated random string should be checked manually.
