genpasswd

Overview

genpasswd is a tool for creating randomised strings with an assortment of characters, written in Python. Because of this, it is highly customisable, by argv options and by modifying the script itself.

Usage

genpasswd [length] [-ilush]

Options

-i            Exclude integers from the password
-l            Exclude lowercase letters from the password
-u            Exclude uppercase letters from the password
-s            Exclude special characters letters from the password
-h | --help   Show the help screen

Examples

$ genpasswd
Created password 10 characters long:
Iq*QM.&dg$

$ genpasswd -i
Created password 10 characters long:
oS*Uk^S*z?

$ genpasswd 20
Created password 20 characters long:
C3Pi$3H%##nm1bNg~8S.

$ genpasswd 36 -l -s
Created password 36 characters long:

Install

To install on most Unix-like operating systems, ensure python3 and git are installed.

• First, git clone https://github.com/bradeythedev/Random-password-generator/ or download 'genpasswd' from a release in the releases tab.
• Open a terminal and enter the directory containing 'genpasswd' by cd Random-password-generator/
• Make the 'genpasswd' file executable by chmod +x genpasswd
• (Optional) Move the executable into a $PATH directory with sudo cp genpasswd /usr/local/bin/ or doas cp genpasswd /usr/local/bin/ (shoutout to BSD users)

To install on Windows, first get a better operating system- alright, fine. Install python3, download 'genpasswd' from the releases tab, and right-click open with python in file explorer (I think, I honestly have no idea).
