Configure Mask Character Sets

The Configure Mask Character Sets screen is only available in the Professional Edition. It allows the Professional Edition user to view or modify the contents of the character sets from which the password generator randomly selects characters for mask conversion. For example, if you don't want any zeroes to be used for the '#' mask character, you may delete the zero (0) from the 'Numeric' character set. It is easy to restore the default (original) setting either for one mask or for all masks at a time.

At this time it is not possible to add your own character sets and associated mask characters. This may be possible in a future version of Masking Password Generator.

Column Descriptions

Mask	This is the mask syntax character used in your masks for the associated set of characters. It may be preceded by a '<' or '>' character which indicates whether the mask is lowercase or uppercase, respectively. If there is no case indicator, then both cases, if applicable, are used for the mask. You cannot change the mask characters in this column.
Description	The mask name or description. This cannot be changed.
Default	If a check mark is displayed, then this character set is in it's default or original state, i.e. it hasn't been changed. This cannot be changed directly, but reflects the status of the character set and will change as the character set is changed.
Character Set	This is the only column that may be changed directly. You may add or delete characters as you wish. There are no checks made to determine if the same character appears more than once in a set. Keep in mind if a character is repeated then it will have a greater chance of appearing in the generated password than those that only appear once, thus skewing the randomness of selection. This may or may not be desirable, so feel free to make such changes if you wish.
