[CB] Advanced Password Generation in Profile

[Jay]

Name: Advanced Password Generation in Profile
Live Preview: dorkxd.com/?script=random_pass_gen
Crossbrowser: Yes
Placement: Main Footer
Editing: None, but read below before snagging the code.

Yeah, I got playing around with random things this morning and a new code came to mind. Check out the live preview, just under the Password sections. First select a strength from the drop down, then press Generate. Keep generating until your comfortable with what you see. Click your password in the input box. A message will now appear; don't forget to read it before clicking Ok.

Passwords are generated in alphanumerical, special, and ASCII characters; all of which are compatable characters to use as a ProBoards password. Now that I hope you've read this far, let's move on to the code.
