Secure Password Generator
Generate cryptographically secure passwords, passphrases, and API keys. Uses secrets module (CSPRNG) — not random.
Quick Start
# Generate a 20-char password
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/passgen.py
# Generate a passphrase
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/passgen.py --type passphrase --words 5
# Generate an API key
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/passgen.py --type apikey
# Generate 10 passwords at once
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/passgen.py --count 10
