Not sure y it wasn’t working correctly but think this way it should work as it was intended 2.

Hello, thank you for the password script.


I currently have the need to create a password that changes month to month and I am the only one who knows what it is for that month (after I create a script of course )
The user has to request of me the password each month to go into the script I created.
Does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done? Maybe the "password script" can analyze the date and then it will use the appropriate password i specified for that date range or month.

OR perhaps some kind of formula that changes the password month to month, that would be pretty slick too.

Thank you for your help and time in this matter.

Here is what I came up with to have a monthly changing password:



You can have whatever combination you want and it changes each month.

Hello does someone have a good formula to make the password not so evident if the months change.

for instance 10 * 4 -6 = 34
next month 38
next month 42

As you can see this is easy to figure out if the passwords are saved.
Perhaps a formula that does something like

20
82
102
153
182
193

and so on. As you can see it is very hard to figure out the formula

Thanks for the thoughts

The simplest method I can think of is:



You may use just MM if you want to.

I am sorry, but could you put the code:




Where exactly do I put this in the code that I modified below.



I apologize for not understanding. Thanks for your time.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but how does this little code work. Is it in the manner where I can specify a number for whatever month and year it is. If so where do i put my list of numbers.

I translate this as NumGet (yymm) to get some number that I specified for the yymm.

Is this the way it works?

Thanks for your time.

I was answering to the second part of the question.
It is hard to explain how this NumGet() works, but I can assure you that it generates a unique number ( 32bit Integer ) - for every month - for whole of the current century.

You do not need a password list with this technique.
For example, If you ever need to know what the password will be for year:2019 and month:10, then you may run the following code to see it:



If you want to generate results for the whole century, try the following:



Conclusion:
I have shown you a way on how to generate a unique number based on the year and month of the calendar date.
You may further process this unique number to differentiate it between many users, like:
Assign a numeric user-id for every user and some formula to make sure that the password is different for every user.

Hope I was clear.

Answering your question if you were clear, Yes very much so , thank you so much for your time in answering my questions.

this work perfectly
but can somebody make a more complex script with password change option also?
so that there is another button called "change password" witch refers you to a new gui or msgbox where you have to enter the old pass and the 2 times the new one
something like all the password changers we all know
it would be nice if somebody could make it

The main purpose of this script is to produce a safeguard against users copying and distributing the script with semi-control. So this way they have to ask you the password every so often, for updates or whatever.

This is a modification of the script below:



Since It generates a random number you can even make the formula even harder to crack in case they are searching thru the internet by adding some functions to the end of the code. It also can make it a shorter number to make it easier to enter for the users. For example:



I appreciate everyone's time

I also saw the RC4 but it is a bit faulty with certain lucky encodings.

try this one:

Laszlo coded some extensions on it to be sure no characters are ever lost!

I don't understand.
If a compiled exe needs to be safe, then why specify a password at all?
Its not openable at all with ahk2exe in that case, right?
