NuPass

Readable, typable password generator script. Because your users can't deal with pwmake.

NuPass provides the nupass package and a command-line script for generating temporary passwords that your users can read and type. Passwords are provided by the gen_pass() function and are in the following format:

{number}{Capitalized_word}{special_character}{Capitalized_word}{number}

For example, 4Toffee@Buttercream7.

Installation

OS X & Linux:

pip install nupass

Windows:

python -m pip install nupass

Usage example

Generate a single password:

$ nupass

Generate five passwords:

$ nupass 5

Development setup

Using NuPass in your projects:

import nupass
temp_pass = nupass.gen_pass() # returns a string containing your password

If you want to change the length of the words used in the password, you can set the parameters of gen_pass().

import nupass
temp_pass = nupass.gen_pass(min_w_len=4, max_w_len=10)
# functionally the same as nupass.genpass(4, 10)
