My Password Generator

My Password Generator is a simple library for generating random and secure passwords with options to customize the length and include/exclude different types of characters.

Installation

Install the library via NPM:

$ npm install ol-password-generator

Usage

Generating a Single Password

Use the generatePassword function to create a single password with specific settings. It returns a string.

const { generatePassword } = require("my-password-generator");

const password = generatePassword(12, {
  useUppercase: true,
  useNumbers: true,
  useSymbols: false,
});

// Example output: 'aB1cD2eF3gH'
console.log(password);

Available Options

You can customize password generation by passing an options object:

| Parameter | Description | Default Value | | -------------- | ------------------------------------------- | ------------- | | length | The length of the password (integer). | 8 | | useUppercase | Include uppercase letters. | true | | useNumbers | Include numbers. | true | | useSymbols | Include special characters (!, @, #, etc.). | true |

Example with customized options:

const password = generatePassword(16, {
  useUppercase: false,
  useNumbers: true,
  useSymbols: true,
});

// Example output: '1@2#3$4%5&6*7(8'
console.log(password);

How It Works

The generator creates passwords by randomly selecting characters from the following sets:

• Lowercase letters (a-z)
• Uppercase letters (A-Z)
• Numbers (0-9)
• Special characters (!@#$%^&*())

You can exclude specific sets of characters by adjusting the options.
