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

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
