✨ Usage

clinkey works in two ways:

• Interactive Mode (cool and guided).

  Run clinkey with no arguments to launch the guided interface. It's the best way to get started !

• Direct Mode (fast and efficient).

  Use flags to get what you want in a single line.

The parameters

The types (-t | --type)

There are 3 different types of clinkey passwords :

• normal : set by default. Containing only letters. flag : -t | --type normal
• strong : like normal, but with digits. flag : -t | --type strong
• super_strong : like strong, but with special characters. flag : -t | --type super_strong.

Note that in interactive mode, as well as in the web interface, normal is called Vanilla, strong is called Twisted and super_strong is called So NAAASTY or Super Twisted.

The length (-l | --length)

The length of your password is set by default to 16 characters. You can change it by using the -l | --length flag. from 1 to 10000... characters.

The number of passwords (-n | --number)

It is possible to generate multiple passwords at once by using the -n | --number flag. from 1 to 10000... passwords. WARNING : if you don"t want your CPU to explode, don't generate more than 500 passwords at once.

The separator (-ns | --no-sep)

The pattern of passwords that clinkey uses hyphen and underscore as separators by default to make the whole result pronounceable. You can change it by using the -ns | --no-sep flag.

The lowercase (-low | --lower)

By default clinkey generates passwords in uppercase. You can change it by using the -low | --lower flag.

The output (-o | --output)

Eventually, you can save the result to a file and avoid echoing it to the terminal by using the -o | --output flag followed by the path to the file.
