Creates (secure) passwords on the command line.
pwdgen is a ANSI C program that can be used to create (secure) passwords on the command line. "Secure" means mumbo-jumbo in this case.
It was primarily a small side-project to do some C again. Do not expect rocket science.
Any C compiler should suffice. I only tested GCC on Linux and macOS.
gcc -o pwdgen pwdgen.c
After compiling, pwdgen -h
will show you all possible options. You will be able to set the safety level of the password(s), the password length and the number of passwords that shall be created.
The main repository for pwdgen is located at GitLab: https://gitlab.com/rbrt-weiler/pwdgen
