NAME
hee-pwgen - real cryptographically secure password generator
SYNOPSIS
hee pwgen [LENGTH]
DESCRIPTION
Generates one random password using Python's secrets module (a real
CSPRNG, not random, which is not cryptographically secure and should
never generate anything credential-shaped). Alphabet is ASCII letters
and digits.
Prints directly to stdout -- this is the "just generate one" tool, sep‐
arate from hee-cred(1)'s sealed-storage path. Pipe the output into hee-
cred(1)'s interactive prompt yourself if it needs to be stored; this
tool has no storage of its own.
OPTIONS
LENGTH Password length. Default 20 if omitted. Below 12 prints a real
warning to stderr but still generates.
EXAMPLES
hee pwgen
hee pwgen 24
