# GoPass
An easy to use command-line password generator that creates secure passwords
# Usage:
`./gopass [number of characters]`<br>
or <br>
`./gopass [number of characters] -r=[excluded characters] [-s to remove all symbols]`
<hr>
eg: `./gopass 32` <br>
output: `E$bGOiiPASS*,ISl{!MJ&<\[COOL0eVw` <br>
eg: (with excluded characters): `./gopass 32 -r=$,!` <br>
output: `EYbGOiiPASS*2ISl{?MJ&<\[COOL0eVw` <- note the excluded characters are not present in the output <br>
eg: `./gopass 32 -s` <br>
output: `LEYbGOiiPASS2ISlMJCOOL0eRt3KPOVw` <- note the symbols are not present in the output <br>
eg: `./gopass 32 -r=$,! -s` the -r and -s flags can be combined <br>
# How to install/use for Windows:
1. Download Windows binary, it may be helpful to simply rename it to "gopass.exe" (make sure to add .exe, this won't
need to
be typed to execute the file from the CLI, but it is required for Windows to recognize the binary) to keep
commands shorter.
2. Move the file to your `C:\Users\[Username]` directory
3. Opening the console *without* Administrator privileges will put you in the directory mentioned above by default
4. Now type `gopass [number of characters]` (Ex. `gopass 64`) to generate a new password!
# How to install/use for Linux:
1. Download Linux binary, it may be helpful to simply rename it to "gopass" to keep commands shorter.
2. Move the file to your home directory.
3. `chmod +x gopass` if necessary
3. Opening your terminal should put you in your home directory by default, if not, just type `cd` to get sent back to
home.
4. Now type `./gopass [number of characters]` (Ex. `./gopass 64`) to generate a new password!
