makepass

A very simple password and secret generator for the command line, built on Bun.

Installation

bun add -g makepass

Or run it without installing:

bunx makepass

Usage

Running makepass with no arguments generates a 16-character password using the defaults (lowercase, uppercase, numbers, no symbols) and prints it to stdout:

makepass

Flags

| Flag | Description | | --- | --- | | -l, --length <number> | Length of the password (default: 16) | | -s, --symbols | Include symbols | | -C, --no-caps | Exclude capital letters | | -N, --no-numbers | Exclude numbers | | -g, --secret | Shortcut for a 32-character alphanumeric secret (caps + numbers, no symbols) | | -i, --interactive | Launch an interactive setup instead of using flags/defaults |

Examples

# 32-character password with symbols
makepass -l 32 -s

# lowercase-only, 20 characters
makepass -C -N -l 20

# quick 32-character secret
makepass -g

# walk through the options interactively
makepass -i
