Commands:
  secret  Creates secret with at least 256 bits of entropy
  wifi    Creates a wifi friendly password
  help    Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options:
  -l, --length <LENGTH>     Length of passwords
  -c, --count <COUNT>       Amount of passwords
  -a, --alphabet            Use ALPHABET (a-z) charset

Defaults

If you run pwgrs without the -l / --length option it will determine the length based on the selected charsets to get at least 256 bits of entropy. Fewer charsets selected, will result in a longer password.

Without any charset flags (-a, -A, -n, or -s) set, all possible charsets will be used.
