## 1. Introduction
PwGenie is a command-line application written in Golang to generate secure passwords.
It's highly inspired by [Motus](https://github.com/oleiade/motus) and [go-password](https://github.com/sethvargo/go-password/).
Features:
- Generate **secure human-friendly memorable passwords** using [EFF's wordlist](https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/07/new-wordlists-random-passphrases).
- Generate **random passwords** with optional (uppercase, number, symbol inclusion), follow the algorithm described in [AgileBits 1Password](https://discussions.agilebits.com/discussion/23842/how-random-are-the-generated-passwords).
- Generate **PINs** with customizable length.
- Enable/disable **repeat**.
- **Clipboard** integration for easy password usage (Default).
