> Generate Password is a (relatively) extensive library for generating random and unique passwords.

## Install

```bash
$ npm install generate-password --save
```

## Usage

#### `generate([options])`

Generate one password with the given options. Returns a string.

```javascript
var generator = require('generate-password');

var password = generator.generate({
	length: 10,
	numbers: true
});

// 'uEyMTw32v9'
console.log(password);
```

#### `generateMultiple(amount[, options])`

Bulk generate multiple passwords at once, with the same options for all. Returns an array.

```javascript
var generator = require('generate-password');

var passwords = generator.generateMultiple(3, {
	length: 10,
	uppercase: false
});

// [ 'hnwulsekqn', 'qlioullgew', 'kosxwabgjv' ]
console.log(passwords);
```

### Available options
Any of these can be passed into the options object for each function.

### Using this with a browser
As browsers don't have the "require" method that Node.js does, this module doesn't work in web environments. Instead [generate-password-browser](https://www.npmjs.com/package/generate-password-browser) can be used.
