RustPass

An easy to use command-line password generator that creates secure passwords. Randomness is seeded cryptographically.

Usage:

./rustpass [number of characters]
or
./rustpass [number of characters] "[excluded characters]"


eg: ./rustpass 32
output: E$bRUSTiPASS*,ISl{!M&<\[COOL0eVw
eg (with excluded characters): ./gopass 32 "$,!"
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!
