SYNOPSIS

pwdsafety [options]

DESCRIPTION

pwdsafety is a command-line tool that reads passwords from standard input and evaluates their safety. It checks if the password or its reverse is a known common password, verifies basic rules like uppercase, lowercase, numbers, and symbols, and calculates entropy. When the score is 68 or lower, it generates a random stronger password as a suggestion.

CAVEATS

Does not store any password information. Reads only from standard input.
