Password Generator
==================

[](#password-generator)

A teeny library to generate memorable yet secure passwords.

Why?
----

[](#why)

- Existing password managers didn't suit the needs I had for this project, or required you to source your own external wordlist
- I've hacked Faker into a password generator for typeable passwords
    - The project I'm using this in requires secure, generated passwords that are easy to type

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Requires PHP 7.0+. Install with Composer.

```
$ composer require kieranajp/password-generator
```

If you require PHP 5.3 - 5.6 support, install v1.

Example usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

To quickly try this out, you can run `php example.php`. This file contains the basic usage.

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$g = new \Kieranajp\Generator\Generator();
$g->generate(); // [ "Reagan467$Lera^" ]
$g->generate(2); // [ "Christina835$Frami$", "Terrance103:Evie." ]
```

By default, passwords are of the following format: `word - number - symbol - word - symbol`. This can easily be changed as follows:

```
$g->setFormat("word:num:symbol")
```

The default list of symbols is easy to type by a less-savvy computer user on a standard QWERTY keyboard. Other symbols can be added with `$g->addSymbol('🤡')` and removed with `$g->removeSymbol('🤡')`.
