# random-passwd [![NPM Version][npm-image]][npm-url]

Generate a cryptographically strong random password string

## Usage

```sh

random-passwd [random-bytes]

```

`random-bytes` defaults to 64 if not provided.  random-bytes must be a whole number

between 6 and 256 inclusive.

Random bytes|Password Length|Bits|Combinations

-|-|-|-

6|8|48|2.8e+14

8|11|64|1.8e+19

16|22|128|3.4e+38

32|43|256|1.2e+77

64|86|512|1.3e+154

128|171|1024|1.8e+308

256|342|2048|3.2e+616

If someone knows that you generated a default password with this utility it would

take an average of 6.7e+153 attempts to find your password by brute force (half of

1.3e+154).
