Inspired by WordPress’s secret-key service, I created a CodeIgniter encryption key generator. Navigate to or refresh the page to get a random, 32-character sting that can be used by CodeIgniter’s encryption class.
9 April 2013: The key generator has been updated to generate alphanumeric keys. Source code is available at https://gist.github.com/jeffreybarke/5347572
You win 3 Internets today for this…
I searched Google with little to no hope of finding something like this and what do you know… I found one, haha
. Thanks for being a truly awesome person and allowing for the utmost in convenience and laziness on my part.
You just saved me hours of searching thanks.
Thanks dude! Just used it.
Thanks for taking the initiative!
Thank you for sharing this. It came in very handy!
thank you so much!
Wow great. Is the source code available. Nice work. Great inspiration from wordpress. Good Encryption
The source code is now available at

lol
UR THE BOSS!
Thanks!
Like that, i’ll refet to it in my CodeIgniter series , Thanks at all

thank you!
Thank you!
The CodeIgniter User Guide states, that the “key should be as random a string as you can concoct, with numbers and uppercase and lowercase letters”. (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/encryption.html).
Your generator includes characters beyond alphanumeric ones. Maybe this result in a trouble?
Either way, in the User Guide “your key should be 32 characters in length (128 bits)”. does not seem to make sense to me (this would be 32 chars with 4 bit each, but a normal ASCII character already needs a Byte (8 bit).
Yea this is kind of making me double think using those keys. I go to http://randomkeygen.com/ as those keys are alphanumeric.
Good catch, ataub2qf! Grr! I can’t believe I missed that.
The generator has been updated to only use alphanumeric characters. Thanks again!
Thank you very much for this very handy tool!
