# RustPass
An easy to use command-line password generator that creates secure passwords. Randomness is seeded cryptographically.
# Usage:
`./rustpass [number of characters]`<br>
or <br>
`./rustpass [number of characters] "[excluded characters]"`
<hr>
eg: `./rustpass 32` <br>
output: `E$bRUSTiPASS*,ISl{!M&<\[COOL0eVw` <br>
eg (with excluded characters): `./gopass 32 "$,!"` <br>
output: `EYbRUSTiPASS*2ISl{?M&<\[COOL0eVw` <- note the excluded characters are not present in the output
# How to install/use for Windows:
1. Download Windows binary, it may be helpful to simply rename it to "rustpass.exe" to keep
commands shorter. (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)
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 `rustpass [number of characters]` (Ex. `rustpass 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 "rustpass" to keep commands shorter.
2. Move the file to your home directory.
3. `chmod +x rustpass` if necessary
4. Opening your terminal should put you in your home directory by default, if not, just type `cd` to get sent back to
home.
5. Now type `./rustpass [number of characters]` (Ex. `./rustpass 64`) to generate a new password!
