 # GoPass
 
-An easy to use command-line password generator that creates secure passwords
+An easy to use command-line password generator that creates secure passwords (Version 1.1 adds proper cryptographic
+seeding of math/rand)
 
 # Usage:
 
 `./gopass [number of characters]`<br>
 or <br>
-`./gopass [number of characters] -r=[excluded characters] [-s to remove all symbols]`
+`./gopass [number of characters] "[excluded characters]"`
 
 <hr>
 
 eg: `./gopass 32` <br>
 output: `E$bGOiiPASS*,ISl{!MJ&<\[COOL0eVw` <br>
