Usage 🎮

Using the Command-Line

Generating a Random Password (Default Settings):

This command generates a password with a default length of 10 characters, comprising a mix of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.

Specifying Password Length:

python src/main.py <length>

Replace <length> with the desired password length (minimum 1 character).

Specifying Character Types:

python src/main.py [OPTIONS]

Use the following options to customize the password composition:

• -u or --uppercase: Include uppercase letters
• -l or --lowercase: Include lowercase letters
• -d or --digits: Include digits
• -s or --special: Include special characters

You can combine these options to create passwords with specific requirements. For example:

python src/main.py -l 16 -u -d

This command generates a password of length 16 containing lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and digits.

Using the GUI
