Pwgen

Pwdgen is a simple python script that will generate a string of varying length consisting of random letters, digits and special characters using several sets of alternatives.

Installation

Download and use as a script for now

Usage

'''bash python3 pwdgen.py x '''

Where x represents the number of characters desired for the length of the password. If no value is given, it defaults to 12 characters

After a pwd has been generated, it is copied to the clipboard. Should the password be acceptable, press 'y'. Pressing any other key will regenerate the password. The reason for this is to quickly paste and see if the e.g. website accepts the password, or if any of the special characters are deemed unusable, or if it requires capital letters, numbers etc. For the time being there are no checks that the passwords generated contain at least one character from each set.

After the program exits, the password is not stored in any way, and cannot be recovered. Keep this in mind, and consider writing the password down, for example in your mind or in the physical space.
