simplepass

A regex-like-based password generator.

Example

Custom Rule

"Password that starts with three capitalized letters, followed by one number then followed by any ascii character 5 up to 10 times".
This is an example, and may not be the most secure password.
simplepass [A-Z]{3}[0-9][a-zA-Z0-9]{5-10}

Simple / Naive

simplepass -l 20 -s
yPKt~QRL,DCHt)Gj*:[!

Goal

Got tired of thinking and generating hand made passwords for websites. Also, it is easier to trust a randomly-generated password rather than a predefined one.

Documentation

See this repo's wiki. Detailed documentation is available.

Generating and using an executable

To compile with clang and C++14, use the makefile provided.
To compile with Visual Studio, Visual Studio Community 2017 recommended.

simplepass -r <rule> | -l <integer> -s -h

-l <integer> | --length <integer> Specifies the length of the string where integer must be greater than zero and at maximum uint16_t max (65 000-ish).
-s | --specials When passed, allows special characters.
-r <rule> | --rule <rule> Specifies the rule to generate password. Disregards -l and -s options.
-h | --help When passed, shows help.

Recommended compilation settings

Works well with Visual Studio Community 2017 (msvc++ and clang3.8).
