A simple password generator

A simple password generator, you can run on the terminal with getpass.js, or in the browser with a React App. I did used the create-react-app module so you may found some unnecessary files.

Run in the browser

1. Go to the createpass folder

2. Run npm i to get the necessary node modules

3. Run npm run build to create a build solution

4. You can then go to the build folder and open the index.html file on your browser

5. Or, for example, you can also put it online with a serverless service like Now Vercel, or Netlify

   1. You can also use mine in https://silly-panini-2c2f7f.netlify.com/

Notes

Be free to test it or comment at anytime. This was a simple test app that I made to play with React and to have something simple that could help me generate simple, or complex, strings!

Have fun!
