--- name: password-gen description: "Secure password generator with multiple character sets and strength analysis. Use when: (1) generating strong passwords, (2) creating memorable passphrases, (3) analyzing password strength, or (4) any password-related security needs. Supports random passwords, passphrases, and detailed strength analysis." --- # Password Generator Generate secure passwords and passphrases locally. No network calls - everything is generated on your machine using cryptographically secure random functions. ## When to Use - Generate strong passwords for accounts - Create memorable passphrases - Analyze existing password strength - Build secure password policies ## Quick Start ### Generate Strong Password ```bash python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate # Output: 🔐 Password Generated # [REDACTED_SECRET] # Length: 16 # Strength: Strong ``` ### Generate Passphrase ```bash python3 scripts/password-gen.py passphrase 6 # Output: [REDACTED_SECRET] ``` ### Analyze Password ```bash python3 scripts/password-gen.py analyze "MyPassword123!" ``` ## Commands ### `generate [length] [options]` Generate a random password with specified options. **Options:** - `--no-upper` - Exclude uppercase letters - `--no-lower` - Exclude lowercase letters - `--no-digits` - Exclude digits - `--no-symbols` - Exclude symbols - `--exclude-ambiguous` - Exclude ambiguous characters (0,O,l,I) - `--exclude-similar` - Exclude similar characters **Examples:** ```bash # Default 16-character password python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate # 20-character password python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 20 # Letters only (no symbols) python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 12 --no-symbols # Numbers and letters only python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 16 --no-symbols # Exclude ambiguous characters python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 16 --exclude-ambiguous # Custom combination python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 12 --no-upper --no-symbols ``` ### `passphrase [word_count] [options]` Generate a memorable passphrase (series of words). **Options:** - `--separator=char` - Word separator (default: "-") **Examples:** ```bash # Default 4-word passphrase python3 scripts/password-gen.py passphrase # 6-word passphrase python3 scripts/password-gen.py passphrase 6 # Custom separator python3 scripts/password-gen.py passphrase 5 --separator="_" ``` ### `analyze <password>` Analyze the strength and composition of a password. **Examples:** ```bash python3 scripts/password-gen.py analyze "MyPassword123!" python3 scripts/password-gen.py analyze "weakpass" ``` ### `list` List available character sets and excluded characters. ```bash python3 scripts/password-gen.py list ``` ## Password Strength Levels - **Weak** - Short or missing character types - **Medium** - Decent length with multiple character types - **Strong** - Long with all character types - **Very Strong** - Very long with diverse character set ## Security Features - Uses `secrets` module for cryptographically secure randomness - No network requests - all generation is local - Configurable character sets - Excludes ambiguous characters option - Strength analysis and recommendations ## Character Sets - **Lowercase letters**: a-z (or a-z without l,o if excluding ambiguous) - **Uppercase letters**: A-Z (or A-Z without I,O if excluding ambiguous) - **Digits**: 0-9 (or 2-9 if excluding ambiguous) - **Symbols**: !@#$%^&*()_+-=[]{}|;:,.<>?~` ## Examples ### Basic Usage ```bash # Generate strong password python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate # Generate 24-character password python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 24 ``` ### For Different Use Cases ```bash # Database password (no ambiguous chars) python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 20 --exclude-ambiguous # PIN code (numbers only) python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 6 --no-upper --no-lower --no-symbols # Website password (letters and numbers) python3 scripts/password-gen.py generate 16 --no-symbols # Memorable password (passphrase) python3 scripts/password-gen.py passphrase 5 ``` ### Analysis Examples ```bash # Analyze existing password python3 scripts/password-gen.py analyze "MyPassword123!" # Check if password is weak python3 scripts/password-gen.py analyze "password123" ``` ## Tips - Use at least 12-16 characters for good security - Include all character types when possible - Consider passphrases for better memorability - Avoid using personal information - Use different passwords for different accounts - Consider using a password manager ## Troubleshooting **"Password too weak" warnings:** - Increase length - Add more character types - Use the `--exclude-ambiguous` option for clarity **"Command not found":** - Ensure Python 3 is installed - Check script permissions: `chmod +x scripts/password-gen.py` ## Security Notes - Generated passwords are shown in plain text - Copy passwords immediately after generation - Don't save passwords in command history - Use secure methods to store generated passwords - Consider using a password manager for storage
