A workflow for [Alfred](http://www.alfredapp.com) that helps you to quickly and securely generate random passwords of any given length.
By default, it generates both an alphanumeric password and a strong password, containing special characters. As a bonus, it also generates [XKCD passwords](https://xkcd.com/936/) with both 3 and 4 words.
Selecting the generated password in Alfred copies it to the clipboard.
The latest version can also be found on:
* [Pacmax](https://pacmax.org/pac/otherguy-alfred-passwords-workflow/)
* [The Alfred Forum](https://www.alfredforum.com/topic/11717-generate-passwords-workflow/)
## Installation
Download the latest version of the `GenereratePasswords.alfredworkflow` from the [Releases](https://github.com/otherguy/alfred-passwords-workflow/releases) page and double click the downloaded file to install it.
The workflow supports automatic updates and will perform daily update checks.
## Caveats and Requirements
This workflow requires [Alfred](https://www.alfredapp.com) 4 or above.
## Usage
The default keyword is `pw`. The first and only parameter is the desired password length, defaulting to 20.
When hitting `⏎ Return` on a selected item, the generated password is copied to the clipboard.
## Planned Features
* Possibility to change default options (default password length, delimiter, XKCD word lists, ...)
## Developers
If you want to contribute, fork this repository and submit a pull request.
To make the project work locally on your machine, check out the repository and issue the following commands:
$ python -m pip install --ignore-installed --target=lib -r requirements.txt
Alternatively, if you would rather work with a virtual environment, run these commands (replace ``
with the version of Python you want to use, but 3.4 is the minimum requirement):
$ python -m pip install virtualenv
$ python -m virtualenv --python=python .venv
$ source .venv/bin/activate
$ python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
To run the script in the terminal, simply run:
$ python pwgen.py
You can install `jq` from [Homebrew](https://brew.sh) and pipe the output of the workflow through this program to get nice formatting and the option to query the JSON.
