AdvancedPassGenerator

A small .NET solution for secure password generation. It contains a reusable NuGet library, a command-line application, and automated tests.

Projects

• AdvancedPassGenerator — reusable netstandard2.0 library and NuGet package.
• PasswordGeneratorCLI — command-line interface for generating passwords.
• AdvancedPassGenerator.UnitTests — xUnit tests for the library.

Quick start

Install the library:

dotnet add package AdvancedPassGenerator

Or run the CLI from the repository root:

dotnet run --project PasswordGeneratorCLI -- 20 --symbols --no-duplicates --no-sequential --begin-with-letter

Build, test, and package

dotnet restore
dotnet build PasswordGenerator.sln --configuration Release
dotnet test PasswordGenerator.sln --configuration Release
dotnet pack AdvancedPassGenerator/AdvancedPassGenerator.csproj --configuration Release

The library uses RandomNumberGenerator, supports custom character sets and generation constraints, and rejects impossible configurations instead of silently violating them. The generated NuGet package includes the library README and icon.

Repository automation

GitHub Actions runs build, test, package, dependency, and security checks. Dependabot monitors NuGet and GitHub Actions dependencies.
