That way, the browser would run everywhere, and the OS + wouldn't matter as much. HAHA! Down with Microsoft.

The issue is that everyone uses the same + password everywhere. Hopefully when people see how easy password + generation can be, that’ll change; there really is no excuse to not use + different passwords these days. <code>mkpass</code> aims to be the + absolute simplest password generator possible while still providing the + functionality you need.ls + </p> + + <p> + Two factor authentication is also something you should be using — and + something that is very easy to manage — and something that I will be + posting about shortly™. + </p> + + <h2 id="usage">Basic Usage</h2> + <p> + The most basic usage of <code>mkpass</code> is to just + call <code>mkpass</code>. By default this will generate a 64-character + password made up of random printable characters. If you need to use + specific characters (for example, maybe you can only use alphanumeric + characters) then you can simply specify a + <code><a href="https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/tr.1.html" + target="_blank">tr(1)</a></code> style range: + </p> + + <figure> + <pre>m4_fmt_code(basic-usage.sh.html)</pre> + </figure> + + <p> + You can also specify the length of the password using + the <code>-l</code> flag: + </p> + + <figure> + <pre>m4_fmt_code(length-flag.sh.html)</pre> + </figure> + + And that ladies and gentlemen, is the entire program. A nice minimal tool + that does one thing and one thing only, while integrating nicely with the + UNIX environment. This is (in my opinion), an example of well-designed + software. + </main> + </body> +</html> |
