# Luzifer / password
The intention of this project 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.
For the security of the passwords there are several assertions:
- The password may not contain pattern found on the keyboard or in alphabet
- The password must have 3 or 4 different character groups in it depending on whether special characters are requested
- The password may not have repeating characters
- The API generator does not transmit or store any data about the generated passwords
## Usage
### Via Web
My service [Secure Password](https://passwd.fyi/) is powered by this app and will provide you with secure passwords.
### Via CLI
1. Download the compiled binary from [Github releases](https://github.com/Luzifer/password/releases/latest)
2. Generate your password:
```console
$ ./password get -h
generate and return a secure random password
Usage:
password get [flags]
Flags:
-d, --date prepend current date to XKCD style passwords (default true)
-h, --help help for get
-j, --json return output in JSON format
-l, --length int length of the generated password (default 20)
-n, --number int number of passwords to generate (default 1)
-s, --special use special characters in your password
-x, --xkcd use XKCD style password
$ ./password get
Vzupi4IaPbXmSQEX9A4e
$ ./password get -l 32 -s
}d.sks(4J$2G]x52=k)WAN{M68LxEg}%
$ ./password get -l 4 -x

```
### Via API
- `/v1/getPassword` - Retrieve a password from the API
- `date=true` - Set to `false` no to prepend the date to XKCD-style passwords
- `length=20` - Specify the length of the password to generate (the API only supports values between 4 and 128 - for more characters use the CLI)
- `special=false` - Set to `true` to enable special characters
- `xkcd=false` - Set to `true` to enable XKCD-style passwords
#### Self-Hosted
1. Download the compiled binary from [Github releases](https://github.com/Luzifer/password/releases/latest)
2. Run the API server:
```console
$ ./password serve -h
start an API server to request passwords
Usage:
password serve [flags]
Flags:
-h, --help help for serve
--port int port to listen on (default 3000)
```
3. Request your password using `http://localhost:3000/v1/getPassword?length=20&special=true`
#### Hosted
```console
$ curl https://passwd.fyi/v1/getPassword?length=20&special=true
0M4L-1[lT:@2&7,p,o-;
```
#### As library in your own code
```go
package main
import pwd "github.com/Luzifer/password/v2/lib"
func getPassword() (string, error) {
return pwd.NewSecurePassword().GeneratePassword(16, false)
}
```
