## Why

I wanted to make an online password generator, which would match those needs:

* Easy to use

* Minimalistic UI

* No tracking at all

* No ads

* Understandable [generator function](assets/js/src/generator.js)

## Score calculation

The score calculation is based on my own preferences: a 16-chars password made of:

* 4 lowercase letters

* 4 uppercase letters

* 4 digits

* 4 special characters

Each character has the same weight.

It is a basic way to calculate the password strength, but for now there are no unquestioned way to do so - [entropy calculation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength#Entropy_as_a_measure_of_password_strength) is one of the most discussed methods, but it is [not reliable in all cases](https://diogomonica.com/posts/password-security-why-the-horse-battery-staple-is-not-correct/), as it does not take the user behavior into account.

## About similar characters

The *avoid similar characters* option, when enabled, removes the following when generating a password:

* `l`, `I` and `1` (lowercase *L*, uppercase *i* and digit *one*)

* `O` and `0` (uppercase *o* and digit *zero*)

* `S` and `5` (uppercase *s* and digit *five*)

## Development

Checkout the project, then run:

```bash

$ npm install

```

and:

```bash

$ npm run watch

```

To build the projet in `dist/` when a change occurs.
