This module is available on npm.

npm install -g strong-pwgen-cli
# or execute it directly with npx (since npm v5.2)
npx strong-pwgen-cli

This module provides a strong default consisting of a 32 characters long random string based on lower/uppercase alphabet, numbers and special chars. The result is getting copied directly to the clipboard.

pwgen

At the moment only a single option is available. Most of the time the default behavior should suffice.

Adjust the length of the password.

pwgen --length 20
# or
pwgen -l 20
