If not specified, default is 23 ``` optional arguments: ``` -h, --help show this help message and exit --symbol, -s Include all symbols in the password --limit, -l Limit symbols used to !@#$%&* ``` examples: ``` newpass - generates a 23 character alphanumeric password newpass 20 - generates a 20 character alphanumeric password newpass -s 25 - generates a 25 character password that can include all symbols newpass -l 15 - generates a 15 character password that can include symbols !@#$%&* If both -s and -l flags are used (-sl, -ls) the -s takes precedence and the -l is ignored Passwords created always start with a letter, contain at least one capital and one lowercase letter and at least 3 digits ``` ## Notes: Some sites restrict the use of symbols. The default does not include symbols. The -s flag includes a larger list of symbols (!"#$%&'()\*+,-:;=?@[]^\_{}~) The -l flag includes a limited set of symbols (!@#$%\*&) for increased acceptance to some sites.
