Password Generator Actor

This Apify actor generates secure, customizable passwords and can optionally hash them. It's built for automation, integrations, and developer workflows, allowing you to create from 1 to 10,000 passwords per run with cryptographically secure randomness.

Key Features

• Flexible Generation: Create passwords 4 to 128 characters long. Choose which character sets to include: numbers, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and special symbols.
• Security Rules: Apply optional constraints like starting with a letter, excluding similar characters (e.g., 1, l, I), preventing duplicate characters, or blocking sequential patterns (e.g., abc, 123).
• Hashing Support: Output plain passwords or generate hashes using bcrypt (recommended), scrypt, or SHA-256. (Note: Argon2 is listed but not yet implemented).
• Structured Output: All results are saved to the default dataset in clean JSON format.
• Auto-run: The actor can be configured to generate passwords immediately on start.

How to Use

Configure the actor using input parameters. The actor will generate the specified number of passwords and save them to the dataset.

Input/Output

Input Configuration (example):

{
  "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:
The dataset will contain items with the generated password and, if hashing was selected, the resulting hash.

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

Use Cases:
* Generating credentials for development or testing environments.
* Bulk creation of passwords for new user accounts.
* Producing hashed secrets for secure application storage.
* Creating PIN codes, API keys, or tokens.

The actor is built with Node.js, TypeScript, and the Apify SDK. For issues or contributions, please see the actor's page on the Apify platform.
