pwdgen

A simple script to create random passwords on Linux. It has no tricks. It's simple. You can read the code easily!

How setup it?

Where I can allocate it?

You'll set up this script at your system just copying it to your favorite directory. I suggest to allocate it at /usr/local/bin to keep your filesystem organized.

Execution Permission

Now you need to set up execution permission. You probably already chose a cool name. I'll use the name pwdgen:

chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pwdgen

This is it!

How to run?

If you used a path that is included at $PATH environment variable, you can run pwdgen or another name that you choose. Otherwise, you'll need to run that script using the absolute path like this; /path/to/my/script.

First, you need to inform the type of password you wish (alphanumeric or with special characters) and the password length (eg: 10 characters).

Five passwords will be created using your criterion and it will be informed.

[1] Alphanumeric.
[2] With special characters.

< Inform your choice: 1
< Password size: 15
