Go CLI password generator

pswg

Generate random passwords with explicit length and character-count rules, backed by Go crypto/rand.

$ pswg
ravelmQp9x_t

$ pswg -l 24 -u 4 -s 4 -n 4 -safe
mQra7_tobK2p:veL4,nwuS8.

MIT Small, inspectable codebase

Signed Checksums, SBOM, attestations

Usage

Explicit rules, quiet output.

pswg prints only the generated password to stdout, so it works cleanly in scripts and command substitution.

pswg

Equivalent to -l 12 -u 1 -s 1 -n 1.

pswg -l 32 -u 4 -s 4 -n 8

Total length is exact; remaining characters are lowercase letters.

password="$(pswg -safe)"

-safe uses a smaller special-character pool for shell-heavy workflows.
