# Generate Password LaunchBar Action
This is a [LaunchBar 6][] Action to generate secure passwords and copy them to
the system clipboard.
It uses the [KeePass Password Generator][] to allow you to specify a character
set for the generated password. This functionality is provided by an included
copy of the [keepass-password-generator RubyGem][] -- no external dependencies
are required.
[LaunchBar 6]: https://www.obdev.at/products/launchbar/index.html
[KeePass Password Generator]: https://keepass.info/help/base/pwgenerator.html
[keepass-password-generator RubyGem]: https://github.com/johnbintz/keepass-password-generator
## Installation
Grab "Generate.Password.zip" from the latest release at
. Unzip and
open "Generate Password.lbaction" to install it.
## Usage
To generate a password, invoke LaunchBar and select "Generate Password". After
running the action, the newly generated password is copied to the system
clipboard.
By default, this Action will generate a 20 character password using
`L{9}d{9}s{9}` as the KeePass character set. This will generate a password
with 9 mixes-case letters, 9 digits, and 2 special characters.
To specify a different character set, press `Space` after selecting the Action
from LaunchBar and type in the desired character set, eg: `S{30}`.
## Preferences
If you want to use a different default character set, you can create or edit
`~/Library/Application Support/LaunchBar/Action Support/io.github.itspriddle.LaunchBar.action.GeneratePassword/Preferences.plist`
and set `defaultFormat`.
For example:
```xml
defaultFormat
S{30}
```
