This is a simple and easy way to generate a password, as well as other random data such as emails or phone numbers for testing purposes, using Power Automate.
Step 1: Create a Compose with an array of letters
[
"a",
"b",
"c",
"d",
"e",
"f",
"g",
"h",
"i",
"j",
"k",
"l",
"m",
"n",
"o",
"p",
"q",
"r",
"s",
"t",
"u",
"v",
"w",
"x",
"y",
"z",
"æ",
"ø",
"å"
]
Step 2: Create a Compose with an array of special characters
[
"!",
"\"",
"#",
"$",
"%",
"&",
"'",
"(",
")",
"*",
"+",
",",
"-",
".",
"/",
":",
";",
"<",
"=",
">",
"?",
"@",
"[",
"\\",
"]",
"^",
"_",
"`",
"{",
"|",
"}",
"~"
]
Step 3: Create another Compose that uses Concat() and Rand() to generate a fix length string based on random letters and special characters
concat(
outputs('Compose_|_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)],
outputs('Compose_|_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)],
rand(0, 30),
outputs('Compose_|_Special_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)],
outputs('Compose_|_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)],
rand(0, 30),
outputs('Compose_|_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)],
toUpper(outputs('Compose_|_Special_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)]),
rand(0, 30),
outputs('Compose_|_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)],
outputs('Compose_|_Special_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)],
rand(0, 30),
toUpper(outputs('Compose_|_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)]),
outputs('Compose_|_Characters_Array')?[rand(0, 30)]
)
Step 4: Run your flow and see the result. This will output something like the image below:
