Usage

Here is an example of how to use Secure-pass-generator:

const securePassGenerator = require('secure-pass-generator');


// Generate a random password with default settings
const password = securePassGenerator.generate();


console.log(password); // outputs a secure password


// Generate a password with custom settings
const customPassword = securePassGenerator.generate({
  length: 16,
  numbers: true,
  symbols: true,
  uppercase: true,
  excludeSimilarCharacters: true
});


console.log(customPassword); // outputs a customized secure password

Options

Secure-pass-generator provides several customizable options to generate passwords that meet your specific needs:

length (number): The length of the password (default is 12).
numbers (boolean): Whether to include numbers in the password (default is true).
symbols (boolean): Whether to include symbols in the password (default is true).
uppercase (boolean): Whether to include uppercase letters in the password (default is true).
excludeSimilarCharacters (boolean): Whether to exclude similar characters (e.g. i, l, 1, L, o, 0) to avoid confusion (default is true).

Password Strength Indicator

secure-pass-generator now includes a password strength indicator to help you determine the strength of your generated password. The function checkPasswordStrength takes a password as input and returns a string indicating the strength of the password. Here are the possible output strings:

Weak: The password is weak. It must contain at least one lowercase letter, one digit, and have a minimum length of 6.
Medium: The password is medium strength. It must contain at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one digit, and have a minimum length of 8.
Strong: The password is strong. It must contain at least one lowercase letter, one uppercase letter, one digit, one special character, and have a minimum length of 12.
Here's an example of how to use checkPasswordStrength:

const { checkPasswordStrength } = require('secure-pass-generator');

const password = 'P@ssw0rd!123';
const strength = checkPasswordStrength(password);
console.log(strength);

This will output:

Strong: Password meets all criteria for a strong password.
