pwgenr

Random password generator (mainly for use with a password manager).

Security disclaimer

Unlike more popular alternatives, pwgenr has never been audited for security (although the source is only about 100 lines). However, this was only created because I believed that no hacker in the world would ever try any unicode characters besides emojis for password cracking.

Example

$ pwgenr -c box -- 12 6
