PHP Password Generator
======================

[](#php-password-generator)

📄 Description
-------------

[](#-description)

A simple way to generate random cryptographically secure passwords.

🛠 Installation (with Composer)
------------------------------

[](#-installation-with-composer)

```
composer require ph7software/secure-password-generator
```

🛠 Server Requirement
--------------------

[](#-server-requirement)

- **[PHP 5.6](https://php.net/releases/5_6_0.php)** and higher 🎉

🎮 Usage
-------

[](#-usage)

```
use PH7\Generator\Password;

echo Password::generate(10); // Generate a 10-length password
```

By default, the password will contain special characters. You can disable them by mentioning the second argument to `false`

```
use PH7\Generator\Password;

// The password won't contain any special characters such as -, _, ~, |, %, ^, !, $, #, @, and ?
echo Password::generate(Password::DEFAULT_LENGTH, false);
```

You can use the constant `Password::DEFAULT_LENGTH` which contains `12` as the default value

```
use PH7\Generator\Password;

// By default, it generates a 12-length password
echo Password::generate(Password::DEFAULT_LENGTH);
```

Without argument, the function will also generate a 12-character password.

```
use PH7\Generator\Password;

// By default, it generates a 12-length password
echo Password::generate();
```
