Interesting as I was looking for ways to do random and that article never came up, I guess that is a double shout out to Alvaro then! You were bound to have seen an article on this before....but I still haven't found a password generator with it (unless you are going to disappoint me!) 🤣
You can actually make the CSS password generator accessible by using a method similar to the article (instead of having the letters in the ::before, have them in the HTML and show/hide them). That way, users will be able to select them.
