A user friendly, strong password generator PHP function.
<?PHP
// Generates a strong password of N length containing at least one lower case letter,
// one uppercase letter, one digit, and one special character. The remaining characters
// in the password are chosen at random from those four sets.
//
// The available characters in each set are user friendly - there are no ambiguous
// characters such as i, l, 1, o, 0, etc. This, coupled with the $add_dashes option,
// makes it much easier for users to manually type or speak their passwords.
//
// Note: the $add_dashes option will increase the length of the password by

Important: At the time of writing (2019-11-11) Immutable.js is effectively abandonware, so I can no longer recommend anyone to follow the advice given here. I'll leave the article here for posterity, since it's still getting some traffic.

There's several interesting implementations of immutable data for JavaScript, but here I'll be focusing on Facebook's own Immutable.js, and specifically on one of i
