📖 Usage Examples

Example 1: Basic Strong Password

Generate a standard 16-character password with all character types:

{
  "length": 16,
  "count": 1,
  "includeUppercase": true,
  "includeLowercase": true,
  "includeNumbers": true,
  "includeSymbols": true
}

Example 2: Corporate Policy Compliance

Generate passwords meeting strict corporate requirements:

{
  "length": 20,
  "count": 5,
  "includeUppercase": true,
  "includeLowercase": true,
  "includeNumbers": true,
  "includeSymbols": true,
  "excludeSimilar": true,
  "minUppercase": 2,
  "minLowercase": 2,
  "minNumbers": 2,
  "minSymbols": 2
}

Example 3: User-Friendly PINs

Generate numeric-only passwords for temporary access:

{
  "length": 6,
  "count": 10,
  "includeUppercase": false,
  "includeLowercase": false,
  "includeNumbers": true,
  "includeSymbols": false,
  "excludeSimilar": true
}

Example 4: High-Security Tokens

Generate maximum security tokens for API keys:

{
  "length": 32,
  "count": 3,
  "includeUppercase": true,
  "includeLowercase": true,
  "includeNumbers": true,
  "includeSymbols": true,
  "excludeSimilar": true,
  "excludeAmbiguous": true
}
