pittachalk/password_generator

Python script to generate random passwords.

pwd_generator

This is a simple Python script to generate a random password.

By default, the password follows the style of Apple iCloud Keychain's password generator. However, this behaviour can be customised as needed.

"xxxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxxx"

where x: random uppercase and lowercase characters or digits

To run the script:

python generate_random_password.py

To see additional arguments and options:

python3 generate_random_password.py -h

Requires at least Python 3.6 (needed for argparse and random.choice functions). The script uses entirely built-in modules in Python, so should not require any additional libraries.

You can add this into yout .zshrc or .bash_profile to create a command line shortcut to use this command.

# default options
alias generate_random_password="python /path/to/script/generate_random_password.py"

# my preferred settings (for readability)
alias generate_random_password="python /path/to/script/generate_random_password.py --exclude_ambiguous -d 0.15"
