# Luzifer / password
This project is a rewrite of my former password generator written in Python. The intention is to provide a fast and secure way to generate one or more passwords using a CLI tool, a HTTPs page or a HTTPs API.
## Usage
### Via Web
My service [Secure Password](https://pwd.luzifer.io/) is powered by this app and will provide you with secure passwords.
### Via [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com/)
1. Ensure you do have Alfred 3 and have enabled the Powerpack
2. Download and open the `PasswordGenerator.alfredworkflow` from [Github releases](https://github.com/Luzifer/password/releases/latest)
3. Let Alfred install the workflow
4. Generate passwords using `pwd 12`, with special characters `pwd 12 s` or [XKCD style](https://xkcd.com/936/) `pwd 4 x`
The workflow is set up to automatically check for updates once a day. If you want to check for updates manually open Alfred, enter `pwd workflow:update` and press enter.
### Via CLI
1. Download the compiled binary from [Github releases](https://github.com/Luzifer/password/releases/latest)
2. Generate your password:
```bash
# ./password get -h
NAME:
get - generate and return a secure random password
USAGE:
command get [command options] [arguments...]
OPTIONS:
--length, -l "20" length of the generated password
--special, -s use special characters in your password
# ./password get
Vzupi4IaPbXmSQEX9A4e
# ./password get -l 32 -s
}d.sks(4J$2G]x52=k)WAN{M68LxEg}%
```
### Via API
- `/v1/getPassword` - Retrieve a password from the API
- `length=20` - Specify the length of the password to generate
- `special=false` - Set to `true` to enable special characters
#### Self-Hosted
1. Download the compiled binary from [Github releases](https://github.com/Luzifer/password/releases/latest)
2. Run the API server:
```bash
# ./password serve -h
NAME:
serve - start an API server to request passwords
USAGE:
command serve [command options] [arguments...]
OPTIONS:
--port "3000" port to listen on
```
3. Request your password using `http://localhost:3000/v1/getPassword?length=20&special=true`
#### Hosted
```bash
# curl https://pwd.luzifer.io/v1/getPassword?length=20&special=true
