This repository is abandoned. The current development is happening in https://github.com/luther9/GoPasswordCreator.
This program is used for generating passwords. The user can choose which character-group will be used to generate the password. For example: lower case letters, numbers, and so on. It is also possible for the user to define his/her own set of characters which will be used to create the password.
The easiest way to compile the Password-Creator is just to use the new "go" tool and run "go build", and it will generate a binary called "GoPasswordCreator"
At least one of these arguments must be passed to GoPasswordCreator to specify what characters may be used in the password:
- all Equivalent to 'alphanum special'
- alphanum Equivalent to 'lower upper numbers'
- lower Use lower-case letters
- upper Use upper-case letters
- numbers Use digits
- special Use special characters (like '-')
- own Takes a custom string that contains characters to use
'all', 'alphanum', 'lower', 'upper', 'numbers', and 'special' may be followed by '=f' to nullify that character set.
- -length Specifies the length of the generated password. Default is 8.
- -count Specifies how many passwords to generate. Default is 1.
- -file Write passwords to the named file instead of standard output.
GoPasswordCreator lower upper numbers
This generates passwords that could contain lower-case letters, upper-case letters, and numbers.
GoPasswordCreator alphanum
This generates passwords that could contain lower-case letters, upper-case letters, and numbers. This is just a short hand for the previous command.
GoPasswordCreator lower own="?="
This generates passwords that could contain lower-case letters and the two characters "?" and "=".
GoPasswordCreator all lower=f
This generates passwords that could contain any characters except for lower-case letters.
GoPasswordCreator -length 8 -count 5 -file passwords.txt all
5 Passwords with 8 characters per password will be written into passwords.txt.
