passthon

passthon is a Python library for easily generating random passwords.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install passthon.

pip install passthon

Usage

First, you need to import the library into your script.

import passthon

The password class

The password class is the main (and the only) class in the passthon module. You will need to directly instantiate it in order to generate passwords.

mypassword = passthon.password(length[,options])

Parameters:

Example: This example corresponds to a 10-character password with only uppercase letters and numbers.
Remember that lc and num parameters are True by default.

mypassword = passthon.password(10, lc=False, uc=True)

Functions

The gen() function

To generate a password based on the previous parameters, you will need to call the gen() function on the instance you previously created.

mypassword.gen()
# This will return a randomly generated password.

The gen_multi() function

Similar to the gen() function, but this one generates more than one password. You will need to specify the amount of passwords you want to generate.

mypassword.gen_multi(amount)
# This will return a certain amount of passwords as a list.

As this function returns a list, you can access each one of the passwords through their index, or even join them in a single string.

Example:

list = mypassword.gen_multi(10)
print(list[3])
# This will print password 4 of 10

string = '-'.join(list)
print(string)
# This will print all 10 passwords separated by a dash (-)

The print() function

This function will directly print a previously generated password. If there's no password generated, it will automatically generate one and print it.

When used in a multi-password context, it prints the list one by one.

mypassword.print()
