pyssword is a simple yet efficient command-line password generator. It allows users to specify password complexity, length, and even avoid similar-looking characters.
git clone https://github.com/ltbatis/pyssword.git
cd pyssword
pip install requirements.txt
python -m unittest tests.password_generator
python -m unittest tests.history_manager
Here are some demonstrations of how you can generate passwords using pyssword:
- Default Password (Medium Complexity, 8 Characters):
python main.py
- Setting Password Length:
python main.py -l 12
- Avoid Digits:
python main.py --no-digits
- Avoid Special Characters:
python main.py --no-special
- Complexity Levels:
- Low:
python main.py -c low - Medium:
python main.py -c medium - High:
python main.py -c high
- Avoid Similar-Looking Characters:
python main.py --avoid-similar
- Pronounceable:
python main.py --pronounceable
- Keyword usage:
python main.py --keyword Beauty
- Expiring date:
python main.py --validity 15
- Combination of Options:
python main.py -l 16 -c high --no-special --avoid-similar --validity 30
- Specific chars:
python main.py --include-chars "@#" --exclude-chars "ABCD"
- History:
python main.py --view-history
python main.py --clear-history
- Pronounceable Words: We're planning to add a feature to generate passwords that are sequences of pronounceable words, making them easier to memorize.
- English: ✅ Completed
- Portuguese: 🔄 In progress... (10% done)
- Password Generation History: Save the most recently generated passwords in a history (possibly stored locally) so users can revisit previously generated passwords if they lose them.
- Password Strength Assessment: Evaluate and report how strong the generated password is, using criteria such as length, character variety, and common patterns.
- Basic Evaluation: ✅ Completed
- Advanced Evaluation with Patterns: 🚫 Not started yet
- Clipboard Integration: Automatically copy the generated password to the clipboard.
- Password Expiry: Set a date or time period after which the generated password will be considered invalid.
- Specific Character Inclusion/Exclusion: Allow users to specifically include or exclude certain characters or sets of characters.
- Safe Digraphs or Trigraphs: Instead of picking characters entirely at random, choose pairs or trios of characters that are easier to type together.
- Password Variations: Create variations of a generated password for sites or apps that have specific requirements.
- Password Masking: Allow users to set a "mask" for the password, like "aA#aA#".
- Save in Password Managers: Integration with popular password managers to directly save the generated password.
- Keyword-based Password: Generate a password based on a keyword provided by the user, but modify it to meet certain security criteria.
- API/Web Service: Turn your tool into an online service where other applications can generate passwords via API calls.
- Graphical UI: Create a simple graphical interface for the generator for those who don't want to use the command line.
- Multi-language: As mentioned earlier, support for generating pronounceable passwords in different languages.
