Using in a script

You can easily use pypwdgen to generate password inside your scripts.

Get only the password itself

from pypwdgen.core import Password

passwd_string = str(Password(20, 4))  # Please note the usage of str()

# Print password
print(f"My password is: {passwd_string}")

Get a Password object and use its properties

from pypwdgen.core import Password

passwd_object = Password(20, 4)

# Print password complexity score from object attribute
print(f"My password complexity score is: {passwd_object.complexity}")

# Print password string from object attribute
print(f"My password is: {passwd_object.password}")
