I have a client who has asked me to password protect his internet connection. He feels his secretaries spend to much time browsing/shopping rather than researching and downloading (forms, updates) He wants a program that will require logging in to browse, and he wants the password to change everyday. He asked if I could put together an algorithim for the password, that goes a little some like this: the password should be directly correlated with the day of the week. If its monday the pass should be bunny*, tuesday should be mortar* and so on so each day has a different password. He also wants a number at the end, one that is +5 of whatever day it is. So if its monday the 10th, the password would be bunny15, or tuesday the 30th of november, would be mortar5. Make sense? this is a very basic description of what he wants, with a lot of room for change. Maybe the first word can be determined by the month. and the number is just 6* whatever day it is. I don't know of a program that could do this without writing it from scratch, and i wouldn't know where to begin on writing a password protection script for IE. Any suggestions would be most helpful. Thanks everyone!
