Usage
Run pwgen to generate a list of random passphrases. All random functions use cryptographically secure (crypto/rand) random strings.
Predefined profiles can be used with the --profile (-p) flag. See pwgen profiles for a list of defaults.
Alternatively, the template can be directly customized with the --template (-t) flag.
To change the number of generated results, pass a different number to the --count (-c) flag.
Also see the generated docs.
