[TH] Random Key Generator [Deleted]

[Jon W]

Waindigo submitted a new resource:

Random Key Generator by Waindigo - This allows users to generate a random key for their user account.

Description:

This add-on adds a new page (misc/key-gen) where a user can press a button to generate a random 10-character hexadecimal key. This key is added to a column called gen_key in the xf_user table for that user.​

is it possible to allow users a certain amount of keys? Maybe more than one? Furthermore, is it possible to give a permission to a user to update his key with a new one?

Not with this version, but could definitely add options like these. How would you want the multiple keys to be stored? As a comma separated list?

This is a very, very basic add-on, so anything more would require someone to contribute. Please PM me if you are interested.

They use this key instead of a password to log in? Like a SSH key?

It just generates it. That is it. What it is used for after that is beyond the scope of this add-on.

I see, Do you plan to release a add-on that replaces passwords with a key?

Nope. I just built it because @Mitchell996 asked for it.

The add-on's only purpose is to generate a key. What you use the key for is completely up to you, but you may need a separate add-on to do something like what you are suggesting.

I don't get it? Why are we generating keys for?

It's basically just ever so slightly more useful than this core feature:

What are some ideas of things that could be done with this?

You can use this if you developed an external program and you want to verify if a user is in a certain user group? Premium software I suppose.

Can this addon generate preset keys??

Could you create an addition to the add-on to have the keys generated on signup rather than with a button? If so how much would it cost me for such a copy, or would you do so for free?
