## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

**Password Generator with Hashing** is a powerful and highly configurable actor for generating secure passwords at scale. It supports fully customizable character sets, advanced security constraints, and multiple hashing algorithms, making it ideal for developers, system administrators, security teams, and automated workflows.

#### **What this actor does**

- Generates **1 to 10,000 secure passwords** in a single run
- Supports **cryptographically secure random generation**
- Outputs plain passwords or hashed passwords
- Saves all results to the default dataset in structured JSON

#### **Key Features**

##### **Flexible Password Generation**

- Length range: **4 to 128 characters**

- Character types:
  - Numbers
  - Lowercase letters
  - Uppercase letters
  - Special symbols

- Optional security rules:
  - Begin with a letter
  - Exclude visually similar characters (i/l/1, o/0/O)
  - No duplicate characters
  - No sequential patterns (abc, 123, xyz)
  - Auto-generate immediately when the actor starts

##### **Hashing Support**

Generate password hashes with:

- **bcrypt** (recommended for authentication systems)
- **scrypt** (memory-hard key derivation)
- **SHA-256** (fast hashing)
- **None** (plain passwords)
- Argon2 placeholder included, but not yet implemented

#### **Input**

You can fully customize generation parameters:

```json
{
  "length": 24,
  "quantity": 5,
  "includeNumbers": true,
  "includeLowercase": true,
  "includeUppercase": true,
  "includeSymbols": true,
  "beginWithLetter": false,
  "noSimilar": false,
  "noDuplicate": false,
  "noSequential": false,
  "autoGenerateOnStart": true,
  "hashType": "none"
}
```

#### **Output Example**

```json
{
  "password": "aB3$xY9#mK2@",
  "hash": "$2a$10$...",
  "hashType": "bcrypt"
}
```

#### **Best Use Cases**

- Creating credentials for development environments
- Generating bulk passwords for provisioning new accounts
- Producing hashed secrets for secure storage
- Creating user-friendly or highly complex password sets
- Generating PIN codes, keys, and tokens

#### **Why choose this actor**

- Uses **crypto-secure randomness**
- Supports **advanced constraints** not found in typical generators
- Produces **clean, structured JSON output**
- Built with **Node.js + TypeScript + Apify SDK**
- Simple to run locally or deploy in automated workflows

# Actor input Schema

## `length` (type: `integer`):

Length of each generated password (4-128 characters)

## `quantity` (type: `integer`):

Number of passwords to generate (1-10000)

## `includeNumbers` (type: `boolean`):

Include numeric characters (0-9)

## `includeLowercase` (type: `boolean`):

Include lowercase letters (a-z)

## `includeUppercase` (type: `boolean`):

Include uppercase letters (A-Z)

## `includeSymbols` (type: `boolean`):

Include special characters (!@#$%^&\*()\_+-=\[]{}|;:,.<>?)

## `beginWithLetter` (type: `boolean`):

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("miladamirzadeh/password-generator").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
