Generate Password is a (relatively) extensive library for generating random and unique passwords.
$ npm install generate-password --save
Generate one password with the given options. Returns a string.
var generator = require('generate-password');
var password = generator.generate({
length: 10,
numbers: true
});
// 'uEyMTw32v9'
console.log(password);
Bulk generate multiple passwords at once, with the same options for all. Returns an array.
var generator = require('generate-password');
var passwords = generator.generateMultiple(3, {
length: 10,
uppercase: false
});
// [ 'hnwulsekqn', 'qlioullgew', 'kosxwabgjv' ]
console.log(passwords);
Any of these can be passed into the options object for each function.
