makepass

A very simple password and secret generator for the command line, built on Bun.

Installation

bun add -g makepass

Or run it without installing:

bunx makepass

Usage

Running makepass with no arguments generates a 16-character password using the defaults (lowercase, uppercase, numbers, no symbols) and prints it to stdout:

makepass

Flags

Flag	Description
-l, --length <number>	Length of the password (default: 16)
-s, --symbols	Include symbols
-C, --no-caps	Exclude capital letters
-N, --no-numbers	Exclude numbers
-g, --secret	Shortcut for a 32-character alphanumeric secret (caps + numbers, no symbols)
-i, --interactive	Launch an interactive setup instead of using flags/defaults

Examples

# 32-character password with symbols
makepass -l 32 -s

# lowercase-only, 20 characters
makepass -C -N -l 20

# quick 32-character secret
makepass -g

# walk through the options interactively
makepass -i
