$bUpperAndLower = true;

// The generated password must contain one of the following non-alphanumeric chars.

$excludeChars = 'iIlLoO0';

// Generate 8-character passwords:
for ($i = 1; $i <= 10; $i++) {
    echo $fortuna->RandomPassword(8, $bDigit, $bUpperAndLower, $otherChars, $excludeChars), "\n";
