passgen-cli

Password generator CLI

Generates cryptographically secure tokens that can be used as automatically-generated passwords or as session tokens. You can probably find other uses, too.

Relies on the passgen library which in turn relies on the Node.js built-in crypto library to generate cryptographically secure tokens.

Installation

$ npm install passgen-cli -g

Usage

$ passgen

By default, you'll get 64 alphanumeric characters in mixed case:

$ passgen
l6HonY3FSD4O3HYWU6d05DDD2uCY5aaSZIxFNwj7KOw9dic6Pr31S2TkqV8rdeSl

Choose a different password length:

$ passgen -l 12
6KLOjSlx6Nfk

Choose a different alphabet from which to pick characters for the password:

$ passgen -l 12 -a abc
caccabccbacb
