pass-maymayqah

A simple command-line interface (CLI) application for generating secure passwords in Rust 🦀.

Side-Note: The word maymayqahmeans generator in klingon(star-trek 😁).

  • -cp, --copy: Copies the password to the clipboard.

Examples

Generate a password with a length of 16 characters:

$ pass-maymayqah -l 12    //12 being the number of password characters

Prerequisites

  • Rust (including Cargo) installed on your system. If not, you can install Rust using Rustup.
