okay bestie sit DOWN because this little legend right here? it's the passwordmaker command line tool and it's literally the main character of never-getting-hacked 💅

✨ NAME ✨

passwordmaker — generates and manages passwords. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic. 👑

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

passwordmaker [-f <string>] [--search <string>] [-L] [-b] [-0] [-x]
[-r <string>] [-a <MD4|MD5|SHA1|SHA256|RIPEMD160>]
[--account_skip <integer>] [--account <string>] [-c <string>]
[-g <integer>] [-d <string>] [-s <string>] [-p <string>] [-u <string>]
[-l <none|before|after|both>] [-e <1|2|3|4|5|6|7|8|9>] [-m <string>]
[--] [-v] [-h]

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so. it's a small, lightweight, free extension for Internet Explorer, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Flock, and Yahoo! Widgets that creates unique, secure passwords that are very easy for you to retrieve but no one else. 🫶

and here's the part that lives in my head rent free: nothing is stored anywhere, anytime, so there's nothing to be hacked, lost, or stolen. no cap. literally nothing to steal. the vault is empty because there IS no vault. 😭✨

This is the Command Line Version. 💅

---

🎀 CONFIGFILE 🎀

passwordmaker by default looks for a Configfile in $HOME/.passwordmaker.rdf. 📂

the syntax is compatible with rdf-files generated by the sister-applications for Browsers (see below 👇). you can simply take a rdf-File and place it in $HOME/.passwordmaker.rdf.

an example for the syntax can be found in /usr/share/doc/passwordmaker-cli/passwordmaker.rdf — go peek, it's giving reference material 💜
