Simple tool to generate secure passwords, tokens etc, for you or your project.
- Python 3.10+
- Linux or Windows
- (optional) clipboard module to copy password in clipboard, if run as app
Just copy passgen.py to any directory, that located at PATH variable (or add your custom folder to this variable).
For Linux - /usr/bin/ for example and sudo chmod +x passgen.py. After you will able to call passgen.py
For Windows - C:\ProgramFiles\Scripts\ for example and add this folder to PATH. After you will able to call passgen or passgen.py
Running passgen.py without arguments returns default password. To change password format use -f key: passgen.py -f "{4 d}" will return pin-code. See passgen.py -h!
It's recommended to import only function like from passgen import passgen
Generated chars replaces instead of {}. You can write rule in it to format output result.
Symbols out of {} will be static. Use \{ and \} to
place braces out of placeholder. Number in braces describes how many symbols to generate.
If format is wrong, will raise ValueError or handle it as static string.
For example {16} returns password of DEFAULT_CHARSET symbols with length 16.
You can use presets of different charsets; write it after length. For example
{8 x}-{4 x}-4{3 x}-{1 [89ab]}{3 x}-{12 x} returns UUID like format in lowercase.
You can combine charsets. Duplicates don't affect to probability. Example {16 A a d [-+$%=\[\]/]}
- A -> ascii upper letters
- a -> ascii lower letters
- d -> digits
- X -> upper hex
- x -> lower hex
- s -> symbols from
SYMBOLS_CHARSET - S -> extended symbols that includes dot, coma etc
- o -> oct
- [] -> your symbols in
[];\[,\],\{and\}to use them as target symbols
If you use some build-in charsets you can also exclude symbols with ![]. For example
{16 A a s ![-_/]} returns password without -, _ and /
