Generate customer password

[Jrb1x]

Hi all,

I'm trying to do something relatively simple.. I'm just programmatically creating customers (which works as long as I don't try to generate a password for them). If I assign a plaintext password, it also works fine.

$newCustomer = $this->customerFactory->create()
                ->setWebsiteId($this->websiteId)
                ->setEmail($customerEmail)
                ->setFirstname(ucwords(strtolower($netsuiteCustomer->firstName)))
                ->setMiddleName(ucwords(strtolower($netsuiteCustomer->middleName)))
                ->setLastname(ucwords(strtolower($netsuiteCustomer->lastName)))
                ->setCreatedAt($netsuiteCustomer->dateCreated)
                ->setPassword($newCustomer->generatePassword())
                ->save();

The error I'm getting is that the generatePassword method is invalid. Any idea how I can assign the new customer an automatically generated password?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Jrb1x

I am also facing similar issue. Were you able to generate the passwords for the customers ?

@Jrb1x @Mukesh Tiwari,

You can just set password programatically as below way,

public function createCustomer(){	                
	$newpassword = $this->rand_string(12);
	$newCustomer = $this->customerFactory->create()
	                ->setWebsiteId($this->websiteId)
	                ->setEmail($customerEmail)
	                ->setFirstname(ucwords(strtolower($netsuiteCustomer->firstName)))
	                ->setMiddleName(ucwords(strtolower($netsuiteCustomer->middleName)))
	                ->setLastname(ucwords(strtolower($netsuiteCustomer->lastName)))
	                ->setCreatedAt($netsuiteCustomer->dateCreated)
			->setPassword($newpassword)
	                ->save();
}

public function rand_string($length) {
    $chars = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789";
    return substr(str_shuffle($chars), 0, $length);
}

You can generate random string with your password length.

This solutions is working fine for new customer programatically.

if you have any issue let me know.

I used following code to generate random passwords for the customers.

<?php
namespace Muk\Common\Helper;

class CustomerPasswordGeneration extends \Magento\Framework\App\Helper\AbstractHelper
{
    
    /**
     * @var \Magento\Framework\Math\Random
     */
    protected $mathRandom;
    
    public function __construct(
        Context $context,
        \Magento\Framework\Math\Random $mathRandom
    ) {        
        $this->mathRandom = $mathRandom;
        parent::__construct($context);
    }
    
    /**
     * Retrieve random password
     *
     * @param   int $length
     * @return  string
     */
    public function generatePassword($length = 10)
    {
        $chars = \Magento\Framework\Math\Random::CHARS_LOWERS
            . \Magento\Framework\Math\Random::CHARS_UPPERS
            . \Magento\Framework\Math\Random::CHARS_DIGITS;
        
        return $password = $this->mathRandom->getRandomString($length, $chars);
    }
