Hello, thanks for replying.
These are different types of password i found on Password generator to generate good, secure, random and easy to remember passwords..

I have found solution for generating three of them, i need help in these ones
- masked passwords
- leet passwords -
- typewriter passwords
- "pronounceable" passwords

[WingedPanther]

Leet password probably just does things like replace "A" with "4", etc.

typewriter passwords
"pronounceable" passwords

Pronounceable passwords would be like real words, ex: "hamburger". Only way to do those with a very very large dictionary.

And typewriter passwords is a random password which is easy to remember.
You divide your keyboard in two parts, the left and the right one. If the password starts with a char from the left side, the all the chars which goes in the odd position (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, ... ) are from the left side, while all the chars which goes in the even position (2nd, 4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, ...) are chars from the right side of the keyboard. And viceversa.
Ex: qL4nS_! (or something like this). It's easy to make, really.

Let's say you have a code for making a random password, all you have to do is IF the first char is one from the left side, then all odds position are filled with chars from the left side and even from the right side. Quite simple.
