generatepwd 1.0.0

A command-line password generator with customizable complexity levels

genpass

A simple Python CLI tool for generating secure passwords with customizable length and complexity.

Features

• Supports three complexity levels:
  • SIMPLE: Lowercase letters only
  • MEDIUM: Mixed uppercase and lowercase letters
  • HIGH: Mixed letters, digits, and special characters
• Input validation for length (integer between 1 and 100) and complexity
• Colored CLI output for success and error messages using click
• Modular design with strategies, validators, and distribution calculator

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/genpass.git
   cd genpass
   

2. (Optional) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python -m venv venv
   venv\Scripts\activate
   

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

4. (Optional) Install as an editable package:

   pip install -e .
   

Usage

• Run the CLI with default options (entry point is cli.py):

python -m generatepwd.cli

Or use the generatepwd entry point (if installed):

generatepwd -l 16 -c HIGH

Options:

• -l, --length: Password length (default: 12)
• -c, --complexity: Complexity level (SIMPLE, MEDIUM, HIGH, default: SIMPLE)

Example:

generatepwd -l 20 -c medium
# Output: Generated Password: fRLsSiPlnYaNtgpMfPQY
