PWizard

Generate secure passwords in batches using predefined JSON templates.

Passwords are printed to stdout only; the utility does not perform any disk writes unless you redirect output.

How to

1. Build

make
cp pwizard /usr/local/bin/pwizard

2. Configure passwords.json

Configuration Template

Key	Value type	Default value	Description
name	string		password type or identifier
length	int		password length (minimum: 4 symbols)
symbols	bool	false	enable/disable safe set of special symbols
symbols_extended	bool	false	enable/disable extended set of special symbols
symbols_dangerous	bool	false	enable/disable dangerous set of special symbols
custom_symbols_set	string		specify custom set of symbols
digits	bool	true	enable/disable digits
letters	bool	true	enable/disable letters
uppercase_only	bool	false	enable/disable uppercase-only letters set
lowercase_only	bool	false	enable/disable lowercase-only letters set

• Special symbols are disabled by default
• Digits are enabled by default
• Uppercase and lowercase letters are enabled by default

Password name and length specifications are required.

Symbol sets cannot be combined. Priority order:

1. custom_symbols_set
2. symbols_dangerous
3. symbols_extended
4. symbols

Example Configuration

[
  {
    "name": "database",
    "length": 16,
    "symbols": true
  },
  {
    "name": "api_key", 
    "length": 24
  }
]

3. Run pwizard

4. Or run it with custom config path

pwizard -config=$HOME/config.json

Default configuration path is /etc/pwizard/passwords.json

Output

Currently supported: human-readable string format

Planned: JSON, YAML

Security notes

• Passwords are generated using cryptographically secure random generator
• Minimum password length is enforced (4 characters)
• No passwords are stored or logged
