Hi,

I think asking everyone else to do the work for you is a bit much. One time password can be easily generated using the string helper and the encrypt library if you need to encrypt the generated password.

Step 1.
Setup a controller method to generate a password for you

Step 2.
inside said method use the random_string() function supplied by the string helper

Step 3.
encrypt the generated string or just save it to your database for later retrieval

Btw,

it is advisable to setup up some sort of recursive function to check whether the generated password does not already exist before assigning it to a record. Sorry I forgot to mention it earlier.
