Readme

randpass

An adequate command-line random password generator for macOS.

Linux Build Status macOS Build Status

Installation

macOS

The easiest way is via Homebrew.

brew tap mraffonso/randpass
brew install randpass

From source

Use the provided Makefile to build a production release.

make

Then you can copy the binary to a location in your $PATH. For example:

mkdir -p $HOME/bin
cp build/randpass $HOME/bin

If it still does not work make sure the path is in your $PATH.

# If you use bash
echo 'export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/bin"' >> .bashrc
# Or if you use ZSH
echo 'export PATH="$PATH":"$HOME/bin"' >> .zshrc

Usage

Passwords

Randpass is very simple and there are three types of arguments randpass accepts for password generation.

Argument Description Default
length List all new or modified files 8
charsets Show file differences that haven't been staged dlsu
count List all new or modified files 1x

OK, so how do these charsets work? It's also very simple, you simply specity a string of the charset codes you wish to use.

  • b = Binary
  • d = Digits
  • l = Lowercase Characters
  • s = Special Characters
  • u = Uppercase Characters

Options

In addition to the mandatory --help and --version, and their shorter variants, there is also a --charsets (-c for short) option to list the available charsets.

randpass --charsets # Shows available charsets
randpass -c         # Also shows available charsets
randpass --help     # Shows help
randpass -h         # Also shows help
randpass --version  # Shows version
randpass -v         # Also shows version

Examples

A password 20 characters long with digits, lowercase and uppercase. It is not necessary to specify 1x, since that's the default.

randpass 20 dlu # PoCuQuVJ0rayYvOYWxcD

A password 16 characters long with binary only.

randpass 16 b # 1110011101010110

Four passwords 12 characters long with digits, lowercase, uppercase and specials. It is not necessary to specify "dlsu" since that's the default.
