passgen

Password generator

As of v1.1.0, passgen will generate cryptographically secure tokens that can be used as automatically-generated passwords or as session tokens. You can probably find other uses, too.

Relies on the Node.js built-in crypto library to generate cryptographically secure tokens. If you are wanting to use passgen in the browser, you can use the "randombytes" browserify stand-alone: https://github.com/crypto-browserify/randombytes

Installation

$ npm install passgen

Usage

var passgen = require('passgen');

By default, you'll get 64 alphanumeric characters in mixed case:

var password = passgen.create();
// l6HonY3FSD4O3HYWU6d05DDD2uCY5aaSZIxFNwj7KOw9dic6Pr31S2TkqV8rdeSl

Choose a different password length:

var password = passgen.create(12);
// 6KLOjSlx6Nfk

Choose a different alphabet from which to pick characters for the password:

var password = passgen.create(12, 'abc');
// caccabccbacb

Running tests

npm run-script test

passgen relies on Vows test framework.
