Hello All!
This is my first time posting at this forum, and I'm posting in here because I couldn't find a more suitable category for my question. I hope this is appropriate.
For my job, I use a computer system that requires a username, randomly generated password, and fixed password. It's really annoying because I have to carry around a little key fob that generates a password when the button is clicked.
I have been trying to figure out a way to figure out the algorithm the clicker uses to generate its passwords, since I know that there's no such thing as true "random". I haven't had much luck googling for a solution. If a computer program could figure out the method of generating the passwords, then that same program could generate the passwords itself, and I wouldn't have to carry around the key fob.
I thought I'd post here as this appears to be a widely used technology forum. If anyone has any ideas on how I could figure out the algorithm using a computer program or any other means, I would really appreciate the help.
Thanks in advance,
steiney
